Following yesterday’s rumors, today OpenAI officially introduced the Sora app. This app is offered in a limited invitation-based manner for users in the United States and Canada for now.
The Sora app comes with an interface similar to the TikTok app, where it displays videos vertically, and can be scrolled up and down. Using it, users can generate videos of themselves or friends with the support of artificial intelligence, and then publish them directly through it.
For the purpose of generating these videos, users need to upload videos and audio recordings of themselves, and can then use a feature called Cameo to integrate themselves with various backgrounds and situations. At the same time, this leads to the possibility of this feature being misused by irresponsible people, and generating various videos that lead to defamation and others. Regarding this, OpenAI said that users cannot generate using other people's personalities using it, and require video and audio recordings to be uploaded at an early stage, and given permission by someone for the purpose of this generation.
This application was introduced in parallel with the introduction of the Sora 2 model. This new video and audio generation model is said to be better than before, and is now more compliant with the laws of physics and movement. This Sora social platform application is offered to ChatGPT Pro users first. It is likely that this social application will also receive attention like the previous sharing of "Ghibli" pictures using ChatGPT.
This introduction is also seen to be present after the introduction of the video generation feature through the Grok application previously, and also the introduction of the Vibes feature by Meta which allows users to browse various artificial intelligence-generated videos using Meta AI a few days ago. The introduction of such applications has also received criticism from many, due to the impact on the slowdown of content that is not useful, in addition to opening up the abuse of a personality and also the impact on users' attention spans, which are said to be getting shorter.
