OpenAI recently announced the general availability of Sora 2! This pioneering all-in-one audiogram and videogram maker will introduce you to a new world of engaging video storytelling. The company rolled out Sora 2 to much fanfare last week. They launched their Sora iOS app, which allows users to upload videos in a TikTok-like manner, sharing videos of their own creation. You can download the app now in the United States and Canada. We’re looking forward to rolling it out to additional countries next in line very soon!
Some major improvements over its predecessor. It enhances realism by modeling the world around us according to the laws of physics, better than ever. Thanks to this significant breakthrough, it is now possible to generate more realistic and life-like videos. For instance, if a basketball player misses a shot in a generated video, the ball will realistically rebound off the backboard. OpenAI noted that most prior video models produced results that were just too good to be true. They accomplished this by bending forms and warping the universe to accommodate written indicatives.
For busy Sora app users it’s never been easier to cruise into quick collab videos with friends. In exchange, they can publish these videos in a feed that functions very similarly to TikTok’s algorithm. Users are required to upload a one-time 5 second video and audio recording for identity verification. This procedure plays a big role in mimicking their likeness for use in the AI-generated videos. It’s this process that brings authenticity. Additionally, it addresses the ethical dilemmas raised by the non-consensual distribution of video through AI-generated deepfakes.
“We think a social app built around this ‘cameos’ feature is the best way to experience the magic of Sora 2,” stated representatives from OpenAI during the announcement. This social component was clearly created to increase user retention and better personalize the experience inside the app.
Since ChatGPT is generating and responding to parental controls, parents can set up their child’s experience how they want it to be. These new controls help ensure parents are in control! They can bypass infinite scroll caps, turn off algorithmic personalization, and control who gets to DM their teenager. These features attempt to alleviate safety issues and encourage a safe and responsible platform for younger users.
OpenAI provided jaw dropping demonstrations of what Sora 2 has the potential to do. It has the potential to create photorealistic videos that are true to real-world physics. This focus on realism is in line with OpenAI’s broader pledge to enhance user experience on its platforms.
The Sora app is available to users on an invite-only model, which helps to make sure that users are let in at a manageable pace. This process of continuous review and testing better ensures that high standards of quality and security are upheld as the app starts to grow popular in the market.
OpenAI is looking to further release Sora outside of North America. They’re staying tuned—as we all should—to the escalating problem of non-consensual AI-generated porn. The company acknowledges the lack of explicit legal regulations governing platform responsibility in this area, a challenge they are committed to addressing as they navigate the complexities of AI technology and its implications for society.
