Sora never understood what makes social media work

Back to overview

OpenAI's Sora video generation model failed to understand what makes social media successful. Social media thrives on presenting curated, idealized versions of reality, but Sora generates realistic, authentic content. This fundamental mismatch between authentic AI-generated videos and social media's preference for stylized, constructed narratives explains why the platform struggled to gain traction in the social media landscape.
