\n\tAs most of mainstream Hollywood looks to opt out of OpenAI<\/a>\u2018s new AI video app Sora<\/a>, one content creator and boxer has clearly opted in and appears to be enjoying the free publicity.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince the launch of Sora 2 at the beginning of October, an app that allows users to generate hyperrealistic clips of not only themselves but also other permitted users, videos have quickly begun to flood social media, specifically TikTok<\/a>. And there\u2019s one face that is notably being used the most: Jake Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent days, it\u2019s been quite difficult to scroll on the popular app and not see an AI video of Paul \u2014 from him causing a scene on an airplane to being confronted by police over a hit-and-run. But the most common video theme has been videos of the boxer if he were a gay man who loves fashion and makeup (The real Paul is straight and currently engaged to Olympic speed skater\u00a0Jutta Leerdam).<\/p>\n

\n\tSome people may be annoyed with thousands of fake videos of themselves flooding the internet, but Paul seems to be amused by it. I mean, he did have to opt in to have his likeness used through Sora.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe youngest of the Paul brothers (Logan Paul is Jake\u2019s older brother) has already taken to his personal social media to respond to the abundance of AI videos, and has a good sense of humor about it all.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe posted a TikTok video on Wednesday, saying in a serious tone, \u201cI\u2019ve had it with the AI stuff. It\u2019s affecting my relationship, businesses. People are hitting me up saying, \u2018Yo, did you say this? What did you do this for? I can\u2019t believe you did this?\u2019 It\u2019s really affecting things, and honestly, it\u2019s like people need to get a life, so it\u2019s kind of pissing me off. I\u2019m gonna be suing everybody that is continuing to spread these false narratives of me doing shit that I would literally never, ever do. So be ready for lawsuits.\u201d However, as he\u2019s saying all of this, he\u2019s actually putting on makeup, just like in some of the AI videos.<\/p>\n

\n\tPaul also shared a Sora-created video on his Instagram Story of him appearing to have a meltdown at a Starbucks after they got his order wrong. He jokingly wrote on the post, \u201cSurprised someone got this on camera this morning \u2014 what happened to privacy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPaul\u2019s rep declined to comment when The Hollywood Reporter reached out.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough Paul is enjoying the new AI video app (and is likely hoping to benefit from the first-user advantage when it comes to new social networks), there are plenty of others not exactly thrilled with the technology, especially in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n\tMajor\u00a0studio executives\u00a0and\u00a0talent agency chiefs\u00a0have already raised concerns over Sora 2 and how their intellectual property or likenesses are being used on the app<\/a>. Charles Rivkin, CEO of the Motion Picture Association, recently called on OpenAI<\/a> to \u201cprevent infringement\u201d of \u201cour members\u2019 films, shows, and characters.\u201d WME\u2019s head of digital strategy, Chris Jacquemin, has also said they were opting out all of the agency\u2019s clients<\/a> from the latest update of the video tool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, OpenAI CEO\u00a0Sam Altman has promised<\/a>\u00a0\u201cto give rightsholders more granular control\u201d over their IP.<\/p>\n

\n\tRobin Williams\u2018 daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people<\/a> who are making AI-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips \u201cgross.\u201d She added, \u201cTo watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to \u2018this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that\u2019s enough\u2019, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You\u2019re not making art, you\u2019re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else\u2019s throat hoping they\u2019ll give you a little thumbs up and like it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As most of mainstream Hollywood looks to opt out of OpenAI\u2018s new AI video app Sora, one content…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[53741,365,21911,363,364,53742,111,139,69,620,45416,145,613],"class_list":{"0":"post-66592","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-a-i-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-artifical-intelligence","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-jake-paul","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz","17":"tag-openai","18":"tag-sora","19":"tag-technology","20":"tag-tiktok"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
