by Chris Chilton<\/a><\/p>\n 18 hours ago<\/p>\n OpenAI\u2019s Sora 2 video-generator launched on September 30.<\/p>\n It\u2019s more realistic than the original and features native sounds.<\/p>\n Users can put different characters into the vids, including them.<\/p>\n If your social media feeds are anything like ours, there\u2019s a good chance a big chunk of the content you see every day has people doing funny, dangerous<\/a>, or simply exciting things with cars. Every day brings another clip of someone pushing the limits, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not.<\/p>\n But what if you didn\u2019t have to hope that something car-related and laugh-out-loud funny was going to happen somewhere in the world while someone with a smartphone was around to capture and upload it? What if you could just make it yourself in AI?<\/p>\n Related: The World\u2019s Most Famous Italian Design House Just Let AI Take The Pencil<\/a><\/p>\n That\u2019s what\u2019s happening right now as thousands of people are exploring the possibilities of Open AI<\/a>\u2019s Sora 2. The TikTok-like app lets users generate videos that can be watched on the original platform, or shared to others like TikTok or X.<\/p>\n Reality Gets a Rewrite<\/p>\n Sora was launched last year but the second-generation version, which has only been available since September 30, makes a big leap forward. It has better physics, synchronized audio and, more importantly, it \u2013 mostly \u2013 looks entirely believable.<\/p>\n Which is absurd when the clips we\u2019ve added below show Scooby and Shaggy and SpongeBob Squarepants getting pulled over by the police<\/a>. They\u2019re obviously not real, they can\u2019t be. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Still, your brain can easily accept them as real in the same way that we get sucked into watching a Pixar animation and quickly stop thinking about what we\u2019re seeing as lines of computer code.<\/p>\n Brilliant, Terrifying, or Both?<\/p>\n The clips that are less ridiculous, but still outlandish, like Michael Jackson stealing somebody\u2019s dinner in a fast food restaurant, are brilliant and terrifying at the same time. They highlight just how fast the technology is evolving and how easily it can blur the line between reality and fabrication.<\/p>\n Also: Americans Embrace AI Tech In Their Cars But Some Features Drive Them Crazy<\/a><\/p>\n Going forward, we might have to be careful about believing what we see on our screens, whether it\u2019s a Mustang wrecking<\/a> in spectacular fashion after leaving a car meet (even if SpongeBob isn\u2019t driving), or a clip of a prominent politician saying or doing something that hurts his reputation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When Fun Turns Problematic<\/p>\n And because this new breed of AI lets you put yourself and your friends into videos<\/a>, there\u2019s the potential for it to go badly wrong, even if the majority of users just treat it as a bit of fun. Imagine going for a big promotion at work in 10 years time and losing out because someone has uploaded a picture of you failing a sobriety test and assaulting a cop. <\/p>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/vwebrqgvfe-d-1024x576.jpg\")
