This needs to be totally outlawed.

I'm starting to think that's the point. Better than telling the masses to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears - have them decide to do that all on their own.
What? Because something else is a bigger contributor, we can’t complain about AI? This seems like a corollary of the fallacy of relative privation.
Crypto being worse (from a climate standpoint, anyway) doesn’t make AI any less bad. They’re both cancers.
Yes, this will only entrench people further into their priors. People will uncritically embrace anything they see (real or AI) that supports their preexisting notions, and dismiss as AI anything that doesn’t. Whether anything is real or fictitious anymore will be beside the point.
Did that early provision in Trump’s BBB declaring no legal oversight on AI can take place over 10+ years make its way to the final bill? If so, we’re screwed.

I see a lot of “crap” … “garbage” etc. reactions in the comments. Even worse is that video can be spun from copyrighted content and posted on social media streams, unless the copyright holder explicitly opts out. This was reported at:
OpenAI today announced the launch of Sora, an invite-only AI video app and social network. Sora lets you create realistic AI videos of yourself, friends, and other people.
Sora uses the Sora 2 video generation model, which OpenAI says is more physically accurate, realistic, and controllable than prior systems. It is able to generate complex movements while better obeying the laws of physics, and OpenAI says it excels at realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.
Sora 2 supports generating video that also includes audio, such as real-sounding speech, background soundscapes, and sound effects.
The AI model is able to observe a video of a person and then insert them into a Sora-generated environment while accurately portraying their appearance and voice, which is the basis for the new Sora app.
With the Sora app, you can create a video of yourself that can then be inserted into "cameos," which are short videos that are shared with others on the Sora social network. You can opt to allow other people to create cameos with your likeness as well. You can choose who can use your cameo, and you will see all videos that include cameos with your likeness, even drafts before they are published to the network.
OpenAI designed Sora to show you content based on people you follow or interact with, and the app will poll you regularly on your wellbeing. There are controls to modify what's displayed in a feed, and OpenAI says that it is meant to be used with friends. For that reason, Sora is invite only, ensuring people join the app alongside people they know.
The Sora app for iOS is available to download now, and it can be used in the United States and Canada. Those invited to the app will be able to use Sora 2 on the Sora website.
Sora 2 is free for now, and ChatGPT Pro users have access to the Sora 2 Pro model on Sora.com.

Good. Hope it never will be, or EU will make sure, it won’t.
This is bad -- VERY bad.
This needs to be banned
