Turns out there are downsides to feeding your likeness into an AI-powered text-to-video generator. One totally predictable drawback is the userbase wrestling away control of your likeness to create deepfakes of your digital double doing crimes.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's likeness is all over the announcement video for Sora 2's launch. was itself made entirely in Sora [[link]] 2, situating Altman in an AI-generated studio, an impossible neon-coloured forest, and even an oversized duck racing event. However, the most popular AI-generated clip on the Sora app right now is reportedly a fabricated surveillance video showing Sam Altman stealing graphics cards, .
