OpenAI says that in older models, a basketball that missed a shot might just &#8220;teleport&#8221; into the hoop. With Sora 2, the ball will bounce off the backboard just like it would in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The centerpiece of the new Sora app is a feature called &#8220;cameos.&#8221; This allows you to upload a short video of yourself to create a digital likeness, which you can then insert into any AI-generated scene. You can also share your &#8220;cameo&#8221; with friends, permitting them to include you in their own creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Videos created in the app can be shared on a social feed, which resembles TikTok or Instagram Reels. While the app is currently invite-only, ChatGPT Pro users will be able to try out the new Sora 2 model without an invite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of a social platform built around AI-generated likenesses raises significant concerns about safety. While OpenAI states that users can revoke access to their &#8220;cameo&#8221; at any time, the potential for misuse and the creation of non-consensual videos poses a significant risk that the company must navigate carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points OpenAI has just launched Sora 2, a major upgrade to its AI video and audio generator, accompanied by a brand-new, TikTok-style social app.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-product"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
