Well, the AI wars just got worse. Just when I thought the AI platformers had figured out how to temper their conquests and deliver tools that would result in long-term wins for everyone, OpenAI went and launched Sora 2, a one-stop shop for prompt-based short-video copyright infringement on the iPhone app store and it skyrocketed to number one like a bullet with 164,000 downloads in 48 hours.
If you were busy and missed the whole fiasco around OpenAI’s Sora private app release, you missed a parade of prompt-driven AI-generated short videos featuring Ronald McDonald fleeing the police in a burger-shaped car – along with all sorts of protected IP like Nintendo, Southpark, even the Simpsons characters doing whatever meme-able things the app’s invite-only users could unleash on an amused public.
