The app leverages OpenAI's SORA video generation tool to enable users to create synthetic videos.

According to Wired, Openai is developing a social media app designed to share videos generated to AI. The platform allows users to create and share synthetic video content using the company's SORA video generation tool.

The app represents Openai's expansion into the social media realm currently dominated by platforms such as Instagram and Tiktok. Unlike traditional social apps that rely on user-captured content, Openai's platform focuses on AI-created videos.

Openai updates its SORA tools to allow videos with copyrighted material by default, and has an opt-out mechanism for rights holders. This approach reflects a broader industry shift towards a tolerant AI training model amid ongoing debate on fair use in creative tools.

With this move, Openai will compete with other tech giants who explore AI-driven social characteristics. Meta recently launched its vibrator feature. This allows users to remix short videos generated by AI on the platform.
