OpenAI has introduced a new social media app called Sora 2, which allows users to create high-definition AI videos using just text prompts.
Similar to TikTok and Instagram Reels, it is a short-video platform where people can watch, share, and create vertical videos.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is an AI-based social media app that features an advanced video generator.
By entering simple text prompts, users can generate high-quality videos with audio.
These videos can then be shared directly on the app, making it a platform for creativity and imagination.
How Will Sora 2 Work?
Like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, the app will allow users to:
Watch short, vertical videos
Comment on and share videos
Create and post AI-generated videos
Initially, OpenAI will launch Sora 2 in the US and Canada on an invite-only basis, meaning only selected users will get early access.
Competition for Sora 2
Sora 2 enters a competitive space where several tech giants are already working on AI video tools:
Google has integrated its Veo 3 AI video generator into YouTube.
TikTok offers AI Alive, which turns photos into videos.
Meta has added an AI-generated video feed to its AI app.
With this competition, it remains to be seen how users will respond once Sora 2 becomes widely available.
In short, Sora 2 combines AI creativity with social sharing, and its success will depend on how well it stands out against rivals like TikTok, YouTube, and Meta.
