"OpenAI's Sora 2 generative AI video creator has been out for about a week, and already it's causing an uproar. SpongeBob cooking meth. Ronald McDonald running away from Batman while police cars give chase. You get the idea. This is the inevitable outcome when you give humans the opportunity to create anything they want with very little effort. We are twisted and easily amused people."
"Also: I tried the new Sora 2 to generate AI videos - and the results were pure sorcery Human nature is like that. First, slightly less mature individuals will start thinking, "Hmm. What can I do with that? Let's make something odd or weird to give me some LOLs." The inevitable result will be inappropriate themes or videos that are just so wrong on many levels."
"Then, the unscrupulous start to think. "Hmm. I think I can get some mileage out of that. I wonder what I can do with it?" These folks might generate an enormous amount of AI slop for profit, or use a known spokesperson to generate some sort of endorsement. This is the natural evolution of human nature. When a new capability is presented to a wide populace, it will be misused for amusement, profit, and perversity. No surprise there."
OpenAI's Sora 2 launched recently and immediately enabled rapid creation of synthetic videos featuring recognizable characters and public figures. Users have generated controversial clips — including SpongeBob cooking meth and Ronald McDonald fleeing from Batman — demonstrating how easily shocking or inappropriate content can be produced. Early examples show both juvenile amusement and potential malicious uses, such as fabricated endorsements or mass-produced low-quality content for profit. The technology raises real legal, ownership, and ethical risks while prompting debate over whether generative video will democratize art or undermine creative industries.
