Sora 2

The example prompt "intense anime battle between a boy with a sword made of blue fire and an evil demon demon" is super clearly just replicating Blue Exorcist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Exorcist

Overall, appears rather underwhelming. Long way to go still for video generation. Also, launching this as a social app seems like yet another desperate try to productize and monetize their tech, but this is the position big VC money forces you into.

The voice quality in the generated vids is surprisingly awful.

OpenAI apparently assumes that the primary users of Sora 2/the Sora app will be Gen Z, especially with the demo examples shown in the livestream. If they are trying to pull users from TikTok with this, it won't work: there's some nuance to Gen Z interests than being quirky and random, and if they did indeed pull users from TikTok then ByteDance could easily include their own image/video generators.

Sora 2 itself as a video model doesn't seem better than Veo 3/Kling 2.5/Wan 2.2, and the primary touted feature of having a consistent character can be sufficiently emulated in those models with an input image.

If this is anything near the demo they have been released, this seems incredibly good at physics. Wow. Can't wait to try the new app.

Did they make human voices sound robotic on purpose? Is that some kind of Ai fingerprinting? It's way too obvious
