I have to tell you about Sora 2. It’s OpenAI’s new video generation app that is both mind-blowing and terrifying.
It’s the first tool from any AI company that allows you to give you a prompt and literally in seconds you get a full AI-generated video up to a minute long.
The results are not perfect, but they are close. Like Hollywood nearby.

dead celebrities
People are using Sora 2 to generate fake videos of dead celebrities doing things they never did.
- J.F.K. He is transformed into a WWE superstar.
- Tupac He appears with Mr. Rogers talking about respect.
- Stephen Hawking is attacked in the UFC. Warning: I knew this was all AI, but it was still disturbing to watch. Weird, right?
- Even Sam AltmanCEO of OpenAI, is stealing GPUs from Target.
SEN SANDERS: AI SHOULD BENEFIT EVERYONE, NOT JUST A HANDFUL OF MILLIONAIRES
I’m sure you know that under US law, “defaming” someone only applies to living people, not dead people. That means families and estates have no legal recourse when someone uses AI to humiliate or misrepresent their loved one. At this moment it is a pitched battle and no one is responsible.
Even creepier?

Sora is also used for stalking and impersonation. All you need is a photo and you can make a video of anyone doing anything. Fake crimes, revenge content, political lies. Everything is possible.
Zero guardrails

OpenAI says you need permission to use a person’s face or voice. Yeah, like that’s going to stop anyone.
If the guy running OpenAI can’t stop his own face from being misused, what chance do the rest of us have?
Right 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 don’t have access yet.

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