Folks are clamoring to beam AI clips of themselves vanishing into a giant feline’s maw. OpenAI’s fresh TikTok twin, Sora, rocketed to the top of Apple’s free App Store charts this week—invite-only be damned. Desperate users are even dropping cash on eBay for those golden keys. But what’s got everyone buzzing like a glitchy algorithm?
Sora lets you snap a selfie, feed it a wild prompt, and boom: hyper-real videos of your digital doppelgänger shredding shark-infested waves or pulling off Mission: Impossible flips. The “cameos” twist? Opt in to let pals (or the whole app horde) borrow your mug for their masterpieces. Cue the instant meme: faux CCTV of OpenAI’s Sam Altman pocketing loot at Target, racking up viral gold.
The dark side of the dopamine hit? Amid the frenzy, alarm bells ring over cyberbullying, the sludge of low-effort AI flooding timelines, and deepfake nightmares lurking in every scroll. OpenAI swears they’ve wired in firewalls: nada on explicit stuff or self-harm promos.
Copyright cowboys? The app’s opt-out for IP overlords—one big Hollywood agency is already lawyering up, vowing lawsuits if Sora swipes their stars’ faces without a nod.
Sora’s got company: Meta unleashed Vibes, its own AI video playground, on the Meta AI app just last week.
Craving the fake or faking the crave? Sora drops as platforms probe if synthetic slop can revive sagging engagement. FT’s John Burn-Murdoch flags a global dip in social media hours (North America’s the outlier), with polls showing grown-ups shaved 10% off app time from 2022 peaks. Blame? Feeds bloated with stranger-spam over friend vibes. OpenAI’s wagering personalized AI wizardry will glue eyes back to screens.
