Details remain unclear regarding the feature\u2019s acceptance of fictional individuals generated by external AI tools or the permissible level of photorealism for such creations. OpenAI has not specified how Sora would differentiate between AI-generated fictional people and images of real individuals if outside AI-generated people are permitted. This update follows a trademark infringement lawsuit filed against OpenAI by celebrity video platform Cameo concerning the use of \u201ccameo\u201d in Sora app features.<\/p>\n<p>Sora introduces video stitching, allowing users to combine multiple videos for longer, multi-scene clips. Leaderboards will showcase the most remixed videos and frequently cameoed users and characters. OpenAI has made the Sora app more accessible \u201cfor a limited time,\u201d removing the invitation code requirement for users in the US, Canada, Japan, and Korea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured image credit<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI\u2019s Sora app introduces reusable \u201ccharacter cameos\u201d and video stitching capabilities, along with leaderboards, for its AI-generated videos in the US, Canada, Japan, and Korea.
