OpenAI's AI Video App Sora Hits Android, But Critics Remain Over Deepfakes and Copyright Issues.
In a significant move to expand its reach, OpenAI has launched its popular AI video app, Sora, on the Google Play Store for Android devices in several countries. The app, which allows users to create, share, and remix AI-generated videos, is now available in the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Since its initial launch on iOS in September, Sora has garnered over 1 million downloads within just five days. However, the app's approach to deepfakes and copyright protections has faced intense criticism from users and rightsholders alike. In response, OpenAI recently reversed its opt-out policy for rightsholders, allowing them to claim ownership of their content.
To address concerns around deepfakes, Sora now offers a "cameo" feature that allows users to create AI-generated videos starring themselves or friends. The app also features reusable avatars, which will eventually enable rightsholders to charge extra for cameos featuring beloved characters and people.
Despite these improvements, some critics remain skeptical about the app's handling of deepfakes and copyright issues. As Sora continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether OpenAI can address these concerns and maintain user trust.

... on one hand, creating ai videos sounds super cool! but on the other, deepfakes are a whole different story 
. like, what if you create a video that's supposed to be funny or entertaining, but it ends up being used in a way that's just plain creepy? and then there's copyright issues... like, how do we even know whose content is legit and who's profiting from it? 
it's all a bit too much for me. i mean, openai's trying to address the concerns with the cameo feature and all, but at the end of the day, it's still a pretty new app with a lot of room for error 
. i'll be keeping an eye on how this one plays out 
: 1M downloads in 5 days is wild! Meanwhile, I found out that 75% of users don't fully understand how the app uses AI-generated content 
Also, did you know that Sora has been downloaded over 10 times more in the past week than in its first month on iOS 
. OpenAI needs to keep innovating to stay ahead of the competition 
! I mean, who doesn't love making a funny video of themselves with AI-generated avatars? It's like, totally cool that rightsholders can now claim ownership of their content too 
. But, gotta be real... deepfakes are still kinda sketchy 
. Hope OpenAI keeps listening to feedback and makes Sora even better! 
like they think a cameo feature is gonna make everything okay? newsflash: if ur making someone's face or likeness into a fake video without their consent its still creepy & invasive 
. and dont even get me started on the copyright thing - reusable avatars might seem cool but it just means more ways for ppl to get taken advantage of 
i hope openai seriously addresses these concerns before its too late 
it's like, we're already living in a world where fake news is a thing, now we gotta worry about fake vids of ppl? that's some wild stuff right there 
.
The cameo feature sounds cool, but how much control do users really have over what gets used in those vids? And what about all the deepfake concerns? It's like, we're just gonna let AI-generated vids run wild without any real safeguards? 
. It's all about balance, you know? Too much freedom and you'll have people exploiting AI-generated videos for malicious purposes 
. I wonder if this is just a way to distract us from the bigger issue at hand - regulating AI content creation altogether? 
, but like, how do we know thats not just gonna be used to spread fake vids or somethin? I mean, i love a good remix as much as the next person, but when its deepfakes im in 
but at least openai is listening and making changes, that's a good first step 
. I mean, the "cameo" feature sounds cool and all, but what's stopping people from just making fake cameos with random faces or celebrities without their consent? It's still a pretty thin layer of protection, if you ask me 
. OpenAI needs to beef up those security measures ASAP 
before Sora becomes a hotbed of fake content
