OpenAI's Sora 2 generates copyright infringing content, including numerous AI-generated clips featuring SpongeBob, Pokémon, Mario, Rick and Morty, and Star Wars
From Dildo Ads to Furry CEOs Alex Mahadevan / Poynter : My journey into the artificial world of Sora 2 X: Paul Yacoubian / @paulyacoubian : Just found out if you try to delete your Sora app account you will lose your chatgpt account and be banned forever from signing up again. [image] Neil Turkewitz / @neilturkewitz : Hey @paramountplus, perhaps @OpenAI won't say what's in the training data, but this gives you a pretty good idea. @nitashatiku @Rahll @GaryMarcus @kortizart https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... Andrew Wilkinson / @awilkinson : I think OpenAI just killed TikTok. I'm already laughing my head off and hooked on my Sora feed. And now, the #1 barrier to posting (the ability to sing/dance/perform/edit) is gone. Just 100% imagination. RIP theater kids 🪦 Hernan Lopez / @hernanlopez : But it's Amazon's, Disney's and Netflix's fault for not opting out before they even knew they had to opt out right? @stretchedwiener : Yet more evidence for the lawsuits, thank you Amira. Trained on stock photography without permission or compensation to compete with the photographers in the same market. “Stop paying for stock photos” Keep them coming, the lawyers are watching. Javi Lopez / @javilopen : Why is nobody talking about this? Sora 2 tends to copy actual songs from major IPs, even without being prompted. And the music industry isn't known for leaving things unresolved without multi-million-dollar lawsuits 😑 [video] Daniel / @growing_daniel : You guys don't realize this makes Sam Altman untouchable. Who knows what insane real videos exist of him. People will dismiss it as sora without even blinking now, he has total impunity irl. Min Choi / @minchoi : Sora 2 just broke the Internet yesterday. Reimagine famous movies 100% AI parody 1. “Star Wars” but starring Mario & friends [video] Matthew Zeitlin / @mattzeitlin : With all due respect to the lord of letterboxd this has not been my experience with Sora @carzonfye : We're permanently doing away with video as reliable evidence and in exchange you will get billboard ads that look slightly shittier and a chatbot that's happy to teach kids how to tie a noose @isthisa3dmodel : wow thats insane it's almost like Halo gameplay footage must be in it's training data without permission Art-Eater / @richmond_lee : GenAI is quite literally the death of art. It's one of the worst things to ever happen to the arts. It's a creative dead end. It's powered by stolen valor. It's whole point is to remove humans from the creative process. It sucks and I'm happy whether I see real humans shit on it. Ed Newton-Rex / @ednewtonrex : If you're feeling depressed about the Sora 2 release, imagine how OpenAI employees who joined to ‘cure all diseases’ are feeling Denver Jackson / @djaxx : So can I just make a marvel movie right now unless marvel comes to me telling me they want to opt out? George Crudo / @georgecrudo : i got into sora 2 and the only conclusion I can draw is openai is trying to get sued. this is like 99% of what it shows you immediately upon entering the app [image] Dr. Émile P. Torres / @xriskology : Remember when OpenAI was screaming about DeepSeek having committed intellectual property theft? Lolz. Chai Dingari / @chaidingari : Paramount spent this year fighting their own creators, firing Colbert etc... but won't take on @OpenAI shamelessly stealing their content? Jonathan Berthold / @j_bertho : Not only is this clearly IP theft, but it's soulless & not even close to being funny. Ed Newton-Rex / @ednewtonrex : The release of Sora seems like a good time to remember what Suchir Balaji said about his former company I wish he were still with us today. https://www.nytimes.com/... [image] Larry Matovina / @larrymatovina : Every clip I've seen of Sora 2 has lead me to these exact conclusions. 1) Sora 2 is an incredible waste of everything in every way imaginable. Just pure garbage. 2) This thing is such a blatant copyright infringement on...everything...that it surely can't be ignored. Right? Paul Tassi / @paultassi : I am not going to be posting a ton of these or anything but just to get extent of the capabilities and copyright violations of Sora 2, here's Zagreus riding a scooter through hell (sound on) [video] Bluesky: Kevin Collier / @kevincollier : As a youngster Napster opened my world until I suddenly was banned from it because I downloaded the Metallica song where they played the Imperial March with an orchestra. [embedded post] Jason Koebler / @jasonkoebler : a few people have found the sora 2 infinite money glitch: www.404media.co/people-are-f... Kat Tenbarge / @kattenbarge : I'm learning that OpenAI is essentially advertising the ability to create kind of realistic looking deepfakes of people getting arrested www.garbageday.email/p/a-slightly... Ryan Broderick / @ryanhatesthis : Not feeling too great about how things are going!!! — www.garbageday.email/p/a-slightly... [image] Mastodon: Jeff Atwood / @codinghorror@infosec.exchange : This insight is critical. Please read it. Ryan knocking it out of the park as usual, but this time, it's the World Series. https://www.garbageday.email/ ...
