Creating AI images and videos has become horrifyingly good in recent months. A few weeks ago, when Google's AI app slammed ChatGpt from the top charts, people were in the Gemini-powered nanobanana craze that surprised the image quality.
On September 30th, Openai introduced an update to SORA, the AI video generator originally released in 2024. Sora2 immediately sent shockwaves through Theg World.
SORA 2 can generate highly accurate videos, follow detailed instructions and prompts, and spit out videos that swear they have nothing to do with AI. The “slop” part of AI video generation is slowly but surely disappearing.
The Openai SORA team explains, “We're jumping straight to what we think. GPT 3.5 Moments Moments “Announcement blog post mentions the major improvements that arrived in the March 2022 update of the AI model.
SORA 2 can do things that are extremely difficult and sometimes completely impossible with previous video generation models. Olympic gymnastics routine, backflips on paddleboards to accurately model buoyancy and rigidity dynamics, and triple axel while cats hold their dear life.

In addition to the launch of SORA 2, Openai has announced a new SORA app for iOS that can be downloaded.
The new social app is very similar to Tiktok. Create an algorithm bubble for your video for you to scroll when you and your friends share content generated by the new SORA 2 model.
According to Wired, the SORA app does not have the option to upload its own videos or images, allowing AI-generated clips up to 10 seconds. That's right; it's all ai.
AI Deepfake is now known as a “cameo”
Openai emphasizes that “the app is made to be used with friends,” mostly in a feature called “Cameos.” After verifying your identity in the app, it creates a portrait and makes it available for use in the video generated by AI.
Others can also use portraits if they give you OK. Additionally, users will receive notifications when the video is included, even if the video does not pass the draft stage. You can reuse it with your own cameo if you watch a video created by one of your friends.
The overwhelming feedback from the testers is that the cameos are making it different and enjoyable to use this. You really need to try it out to get it, but it's a new unique way to communicate with people.

Openai says that “we explicitly designed the app to maximize creation rather than consumption, as it is not optimized for the time spent on feed.” By allowing users to control what is seen in the SORA app feed, Openai wants to avoid the problems of happiness and addiction.
Teens receive even more protection by limiting the amount of content they can view in a day and also limiting cameo limits. Openai's recent introduction of parental control in ChatGPT is also contributing to the safety net.
Openai says the SORA app is free to “people can freely explore its features” at launch. This may change in the future, but only monetization plans involve paying to generate more videos during high demand periods.
The world responds to Sora 2's incredible abilities
Unfortunately, Sora 2 and its new app remain only for invitations, but that hasn't stopped thousands of people from trying it out for themselves. Honestly, the results were shocking and I enjoy them Some of a creative video generation.
One user created a fake video Sam Altman referenced the April GPT-4o Image Generation drama and stole artwork from the Studio Ghibli Office, where famous co-founder Miyazaki Hayao Miyazaki tried to get it back.
Not only is the video almost perfect, but the audio is also perfect.

Another X user has, as Rick and Morty have in the hit animated TV series, “The Sora 2 Clips mashup is called “dimensional cable.” “Peak AI slop has been achieved!”

The possibility of memes here is off the charts and I fully understand the hype. Clearly my initial response for SORA 2 was certainly positive, but after the novelty began to fade, I began to consider its effects as this type of technology improved. I'm not the only one.
In one thread that responds to Sora 2 video generation on r/singularity subreddit, people discuss everything from the possibility of fraud to unemployment.
Others express their distrust and their distrust about the incredible jumps in video quality and their impact on our society, which already struggles to distinguish facts from fiction.
It will certainly be interesting to see how Sora 2 progresses and whether it can maintain shocking quality when fully booted.
Elsewhere in the AI world, Meta introduced its own AI-generated video feed in a meta AI app called “Vibes” on September 25th. Unfortunately for CEO Mark Zuckerberg, ChatGpt's SORA 2 has been launched almost entirely.
