OpenAI\u2019s recent launch of its text-to-video AI generator app, Sora 2, has already led to an enormous tidal wave of AI slop<\/a> hitting internet feeds.<\/p>\n

The company made the eyebrow-raising decision of putting deepfakes front and center of the app\u2019s TikTok-like experience, inviting users to offer themselves up for \u201ccameos\u201d created by other users.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith cameos, you can drop yourself straight into any Sora scene with remarkable fidelity after a short one-time video-and-audio recording in the app to verify your identity and capture your likeness,\u201d the company boasted in its announcement<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And while not everybody was willing to become the butt of the joke, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman \u2014 whose visage quickly adorned<\/a> AI-generated and unnerving CCTV footage of him shoplifting<\/a> or his head popping out of a toilet<\/a> \u2014 some internet personalities were willing to throw themselves at the mercy of meme lords everywhere.<\/p>\n

Influencer Jake Paul seemingly was one of them, and the results were as outlandish as you might expect. Seemingly inspired by a deepfake video of him passionately kissing<\/a> upcoming UFC opponent Gervonta Davis last month, users quickly started sharing clips of him coming out of the closet<\/a> and giving makeup tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that \u201cthis AI is getting out of hand,\u201d only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn\u2019t impressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like it, it\u2019s not funny!\u201d she told him in a video<\/a>. \u201cPeople believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Problematic undercurrents of homophobia aside, the trend paints a troubling picture of a future filled with photorealistic and eerily believable AI slop. The Sora app is only the latest demonstration that the tech is continuing to blur the lines between reality and a synthetic parallel universe dreamed up by generative AI.<\/p>\n

While Paul is basking in the limelight, many netizens have watched in horror as the internet continues to be overtaken by lowbrow slop.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,\u201d Zelda Williams, daughter of the late Hollywood comedy icon Robin Williams, wrote<\/a> in a recent Instagram Stories post. \u201cStop believing I wanna see it or that I\u2019ll understand, I don\u2019t and I won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed,\u201d she added. \u201cYou are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very, very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other users are finding that their faces are being used even without having opted in<\/a>, like Paul, suggesting OpenAI\u2019s \u201ccameos\u201d feature isn\u2019t nearly as safe as the company makes it out to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is scary to think what AI is doing to feed my stalker\u2019s delusions,\u201d journalist Taylor Lorenz tweeted<\/a>, revealing that her \u201cpsychotic stalker\u201d was using Sora to generate videos of her.<\/p>\n

Sora has also fanned the flames of a heated debate surrounding the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials<\/a>, with users generating copious clips of SpongeBob SquarePants<\/a> and \u201cSouth Park\u201d characters. OpenAI eventually opted to come down hard on the trend, implementing guardrails that users now say make the app \u201ccompletely boring and useless<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Paul\u2019s own position seems a little ambivalent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had it with the AI stuff,\u201d he said in a Wednesday video<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s affecting my relationships, businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really affecting things, and people really need to get a life,\u201d he added \u2014 while haphazardly applying foundation to his cheeks using a makeup brush.<\/p>\n
