OpenAI’s newest experiment, Sora, is off to a rocket-fueled start on the App Store, even though you can’t actually use it without an invite. The AI video app, which quietly rolled out to US and Canadian iOS users this week, racked up 56,000 downloads on day one and snagged the No. Some AI apps, like Grok, launched in multiple countries, while others (like Claude) never really said who could download at first. Does Sora’s App Store success prove people are genuinely excited about AI-generated video, or are we just downloading apps we’ll abandon once the novelty wears off? Should OpenAI be celebrated for making AI video accessible to millions, or criticized for prioritizing viral apps over solving harder problems?
