OpenAI has launched Sora, a revolutionary video-generating app available through invite codes on the iOS App Store. Similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels, Sora focuses on user-generated, AI-generated content, allowing you to create videos by simply typing a prompt. Users can generate diverse scenes, from pirates in space to fictional characters in unique scenarios. This innovative app utilizes the advanced Sora 2 generation engine, enhancing video realism. However, users who sign up lock themselves into the ChatGPT ecosystem, as account deletion is complicated and wipes all related data. Sora’s features also raise concerns about copyright issues and the creation of deepfakes, as users can upload images to generate personalized videos. OpenAI has addressed these issues, assuring users they control their likeness and can manage who uses it. With open enrollment notifications available, Sora is poised to redefine video sharing and creation in the digital landscape.
