Episode notes
Sora 2 Introduces Personalized AI Video
- OpenAI's Sora 2 lets users build face and voice models and create AI-generated videos, introducing a new era of personalized generative video.
- The app's Cameos feature and a scrollable AI-only feed have made AI video immediately viral and strange to audiences.
AI Video Feels More Believable Now
- Earlier AI video felt glossy and synthetic, but Sora's outputs blur the line between believable and absurd, creating new viewer reactions.
- That shift makes AI video feel less obviously fake and more culturally disruptive than prior models.
Novelty, Not Longevity, Powers AI Feeds
- Novelty drives current viewership: audiences click because they've never seen AI-generated scenarios before, not because they prefer AI-only feeds.
- Sustained interest will depend on whether creators can keep delivering genuinely new ideas, not just technical novelty.
