Sora, OpenAI’s video generation model, launched its updated “Sora 2” model on September 30. As a result, there’s a lot of AI-generated slop leaking out onto the internet featuring huge characters you know and love. It’s a bold strategy considering that Disney, NBC, and Warner Bros. are all suing Midjourney for using characters from their IP. On top of the slop featuring copyrighted characters, Sora 2 seems to let people make deepfakes of themselves or public figures. AI animation is advancing way faster than I expected.
