Within moments of opening OpenAI’s new AI slop app Sora, I am watching Pikachu steal Poké Balls from a CVS. 0:00 / 1:33 1×Sora 2 is the new video generation app/TikTok clone from OpenAI. As AI video generators go, it is immediately impressive in that it is slightly better than the video generators that came before it, just as every AI generator has been slightly better than the one that preceded it. It is, as Garbage Day just described it, a “ slightly better looking AI slop feed ,” which I think is basically correct. It is also, of course, tacitly encouraging people to pollute both its app and the broader internet with slop.
