Honestly depressing because Sora2 had turn the internet from sceptical to outright cynical. You can trust 0 thing you see now.

Not gonna lie, some of the videos are fun and entertaining but, like, the flip side of that is:
- Who is going to pay for this? Surely it is extremely expensive.
- The incredible amount of harm it's going to cause. People are already extremely gullible and this will most certainly be used not only to manipulate but also as a scapegote. ie: making videos of politicians saying things they didn't, and politicians claiming things they said were AI. One of the first things people started making was manufactured bombings.
When Sora was launched, I made my dad watch a ton of the videos. Just so he'd know it wasn't just possible, it was EASY to fake a video.
Didn't stop him from asking me how an America's Got Talent contestant turned himself into a lion, though lol
an America's Got Talent contestant turned himself into a lion
I haven't seen this video, but I sure can envision it.
He showed me a bunch of similar videos...I should also be clear, he didn't think the human actually turned into a lion - he thought it was some kind of stage illusion. He's gullible but he doesn't believe in literal magic
For sure. I'm just saying I've seen enough AI slop I can picture the video.
Yeah i was thinking about your second point back when sora1 is released, with how quick info can travel and how fast people make decision and judgement, it's not gonna be great.
What is really absurd is that their "fix" is a watermark. As if I didn't learn to get watermarks out with some free program on windows in the early 2000s.
They know it's not a fix. They just went with a half-assed "solution" so they appear as though they care. Watermarks have never worked, specially Sora2's small one, and they know that.
Sora 2 is the point where people start realising how bad this is?
I think this sub has a bit of a skewered perspective on what the average consumer considers acceptable or not. If it makes them laugh or wtv, most people don't care how it was made. Sora 2 being high quality and broadly accessible isn't going to make people realize "how bad it is" imo.
The average person doesn't care about the harm these technologies do/will cause. They don't care about the environmental impact, the stolen creative works or the ethics around it. And because of that it's here to stay. When you create a society of consumers that's exactly what they'll do.

Just yesterday I came across some Sora generated memes and damn, it was obviously fake (to me) but it looked so real, I am sure some people out there will totally believe this stuff. Misinformation is going to get wild
Propaganda only has to be a message that they want to hear. That's why the outrage networks work so well.
What in the everloving fuck is going on
