These \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/OpenAI\/status\/1983661036533379486\" rel=\"nofollow\">character cameos<\/a>\u201d are one of several new features that have been added to the Sora 2 video generator, alongside clip stitching and leaderboards that showcase the app\u2019s most popular videos and cameos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Character cameos were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/805061\/sora-will-let-you-cameo-characters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">teased last week<\/a>, and build on the existing feature that allows Sora users to create AI deepfakes of themselves that can be used by everyone else on the platform, if permitted. Those same capabilities can now be used on other subjects, such as pets, illustrations, and toys, and the feature is launching with a selection of pre-made characters that users can add to videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cOnce created, each character comes with its own permissions, separate from your personal likeness: keep it just for yourself, share it with mutual followers, or open it to everyone on Sora,\u201d OpenAI says in the <a href=\"https:\/\/help.openai.com\/en\/articles\/12593142-sora-release-notes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">latest Sora release notes<\/a>. \u201cGive your character a display name and handle, and tag it whenever you want it to appear in a video.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">OpenAI says that character cameos can be created using \u201can original persona\u201d that users generate in Sora, but it\u2019s unclear if the feature will accept fictional people generated using other AI tools, or how photorealistic they\u2019re permitted to be. If you can just upload any AI-generated person, OpenAI hasn\u2019t explained how Sora would distinguish these from images of real people. The update is being launched within days of celebrity video platform Cameo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/808750\/openai-sora-cameo-celebrity-deepfake-trademark-lawsuit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">slapping OpenAI with a trademark infringement lawsuit<\/a> over its usage of \u201ccameo\u201d in Sora app features.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Sora is also introducing video stitching capabilities that can connect multiple videos together to create longer, multi-scene clips, and leaderboards that show the most remixed videos and the most cameoed users and characters.
