I have to tell you about Sora 2. It’s the new OpenAI video creation app and it’s amazing and terrifying at the same time.
It’s the first tool from any AI company that lets you direct it, and in literally seconds, you get an entire AI-generated video up to a minute long.
The results aren’t perfect, but they’re close. Like Hollywood is close.

Lighting, camera movement, facial expressions. …It’s all shockingly realistic.

Celebrities died
People are using Sora 2 to create fake videos of dead celebrities doing things they’ve never done before.
- JFK He was deeply faked to become a WWE Superstar.
- Tupac It is shown with Mister Rogers talking about respect.
- Stephen Hawking Being attacked in the UFC. Warning: I knew this was all about AI, but it’s still annoying to watch. Strange, isn’t it?

I’m sure you know that under US law, “defaming” someone only applies to the living, not the dead. This means that families and estates have no legal recourse when someone uses AI to humiliate or misrepresent their loved ones. It’s free for everyone now, and no one is responsible for it.
Even creepy?

Sora is also used for stalking and impersonation. All it takes is a photo, and you can create a video of anyone doing anything. Fake crimes, revenge content, political lies. All this is possible.
Zero handrails
OpenAI says you need permission to use a person’s face or voice. Yeah, like that will stop someone.
If the guy running OpenAI can’t prevent his face from being misused, what chance do the rest of us have?
For now, you can only get Sora 2 as an iPhone app. You’ll need an OpenAI account, and it’s still invite-only, so most people can’t access it yet.

Sora 2 is an amazing tool. But it is being abused, and the guardrails are weak at best. So, from now on, when a video goes viral, it’s best to assume it’s fake until proven true.
