The platform is powered by OpenAI\u2019s latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/openai-sora-video-generator-bias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video generation model<\/a>, Sora 2, and revolves around a TikTok-like For You page of user-generated clips. This is the first product release from OpenAI that adds AI-generated sounds to videos. For now, it\u2019s available only on iOS and requires an invite code to join.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cYou are about to enter a creative world of AI-generated content,\u201d reads an advisory page displayed during the app sign-up process. \u201cSome videos may depict people you recognize, but the actions and events shown are not real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">OpenAI is betting that creating and sharing AI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/youre-not-ready-for-ai-powered-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deepfakes<\/a> will become a popular form of entertainment. Whether it\u2019s your friends, influencers, or random strangers online, Sora frames generating deepfake videos as a form of scrollable fun. The app\u2019s main feed is an endless serving of bite-size AI slop featuring human faces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">During the set-up process, users are given the option to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-deepfakes-companies-executives-academics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital likeness<\/a> of themselves by saying a few numbers aloud and turning their head around as the app records. \u201cThe team worked very hard on character consistency,\u201d wrote OpenAI CEO Sam Altman <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/sora-2\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/sora-2&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.samaltman.com\/sora-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a blog<\/a> about Sora\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">People have the ability to choose who can use their digital likeness in Sora videos. It can be set to everyone or limited to just yourself, those you approve, or mutual connections on the app. Whenever someone generates a video using your likeness, even if it\u2019s just sitting in their drafts, you can see the full clip from your account\u2019s page.<\/p>\n<p>First Impressions<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Many of the most-liked videos on my For You feed on Tuesday afternoon featured Altman\u2019s likeness. One AI-generated clip depicted the OpenAI CEO stealing a graphics processing unit from Target. When the character gets caught, a voice that sounds like Altman\u2019s pleads with a security guard to let him keep the GPU so that he can build AI tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Many of the videos generated during WIRED\u2019s testing included rough edges and other errors. But Sora makes it incredibly seamless to create personalized deepfakes that often look and sound convincingly real.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">To incorporate the likenesses of people in your videos, just tap on their faces on Sora\u2019s generation page and add them as \u201ccameos.\u201d Then, enter a simple prompt, like \u201cfight in the office over a WIRED story.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Tuesday, OpenAI released an AI video app called Sora.
