OpenAI just dropped a bombshell. Sora 2, the company’s upgraded video generation model, launched Tuesday alongside a TikTok-style social app where every video is 100% AI-generated. Unlike traditional social media, where you upload your own footage, Sora creates everything—and you can even insert yourself into AI-generated scenes through “cameos.”

What Makes Sora 2 Revolutionary

Sora 2 is better at following the laws of physics, making videos more realistic. Unlike previous AI video models that “morph objects and deform reality,” if a basketball player misses a shot in Sora 2, it will rebound off the backboard instead of spontaneously teleporting to the hoop.

The “Cameos” Game-Changer

The “cameos” feature allows users to drop themselves into any Sora-generated scenes by uploading a one-time video-and-audio recording to verify their identity. You can even share your digital likeness with friends, letting them include you in their AI-generated videos—think collaborative AI filmmaking.

Social Feed Powered by AI

Videos can be shared in a TikTok-style algorithmic feed within the Sora app. The algorithm considers your Sora activity, location, past engagement, and even ChatGPT conversation history (which can be turned off) to personalize recommendations.

Safety and Privacy Concerns

While users can revoke access to their likeness at any time, this sort of access can easily be abused. Even trusted friends could generate deceptive content. OpenAI has included parental controls for younger users, but these features depend on technical know-how.

The Competition Heats Up

Meta recently launched “Vibes” in its Meta AI app—also an AI-generated video feed. Google and other tech giants are racing to dominate the AI video space, making this one of the most competitive battlegrounds in tech right now.

The Sora app is free at launch, with OpenAI focusing on letting people “freely explore its capabilities.” ChatGPT Pro users can access Sora 2 Pro immediately without an invite.

OpenAI plans to expand quickly to other countries but hasn’t announced specific dates yet.
