OpenAI is diving deeper into the world of AI media generation. Its AI video generator Sora is getting its own social media app, powered by a newly updated version of its AI video model called Sora 2, the company announced Tuesday via livestream.
The app will be a kind of social media platform, where you can sign up, follow your friends and share content. But all of that content will be AI-generated. "It's not posted by bots, it's posted by humans, but it's all AI generated," OpenAI said during the livestream. One of the biggest new features is called cameo, which lets you use your face or someone else's face and insert it into an AI-generated background. Your likeness can be used by other users if you choose to allow it.
OpenAI dropped the first version of Sora in late 2024, but it hasn't had any big updates since then. In the meantime, the company has added image generation to its ChatGPT chatbot, which initially took off and started a trend of people using the model to create images of themselves in the iconic cartoon-like style of Studio Ghibli. The trend also highlighted the ethical and legal concerns that come with AI media generation.
This is a developing story.
