OpenAI, for example, has launched an app called “Sora,” powered by its new Sora 2. According to the company, the app enables you to “create, remix each other’s generations, discover new videos in a customizable Sora feed, and bring yourself or your friends in via cameos [which you can use to] drop yourself straight into any Sora scene.”
Sora 2 is a replacement for TikTok where, instead of looking at videos people make to share their actual experiences, users see AI-generated clips up to 10 seconds long — all displayed in a swipeable, personalized feed reminiscent of TikTok’s interface. The feature set includes tools for liking, commenting on, and remixing videos directly within the app.
TikTok is toxic, but at least it gives each user a glimpse into the lives of other people. With Sora 2, users are simply shown: “here’s what our product made, and here’s another thing our product made.”
