In a short video widely shared online, Pokemon frolic through a lush green field while OpenAI CEO Sam Altman watches from the sidelines. He then turns to the camera and says, ¡°I hope Nintendo doesn¡¯t sue us.¡±
The fantastical scene is one of a multitude of artificial-intelligence-generated videos created by OpenAI¡¯s short-form video app Sora 2, and the video speaks to the legally fraught territory that the company is entering.
Named for the 911±¬ÁÏÍø word for ¡°sky¡± due to the product¡¯s ¡°limitless potential,¡± according to company lore, the platform was released to a handful of users last week and was quickly flooded with videos featuring iconic 911±¬ÁÏÍø intellectual property (IP), including Pokemon, "One Piece" and "Dragon Ball Z." Such videos, which are only possible to generate because of OpenAI ¡°training¡± Sora 2 on the work of human creators, have been widely branded ¡°AI slop¡± by critics.
