Hold onto your hats, Android users! The AI video sensation, Sora 2, has just popped up on the Google Play Store. But don’t get too excited just yet, as it’s not available for download… yet. The app, which has been making waves on iOS, is still in the pre-registration phase for users in the US and Canada.
For those who haven’t heard, Sora 2 is the brainchild of OpenAI, the same folks behind ChatGPT. It’s an AI video generator and social media platform that’s been causing quite a stir with its ability to create wild and surreal video clips. Despite being invite-only on iOS, it’s already taken the App Store by storm, and it looks like Android users are next in line.
However, don’t expect an open invitation just yet. OpenAI is likely managing demand, as CEO Sam Altman recently revealed that users are creating way more videos than anticipated, each with significant processing costs. So, pre-registration is the name of the game for now.
Even with restricted access, Sora 2’s AI-generated videos have been spreading like wildfire across the internet. We’ve had a chance to try it out ourselves, and let us tell you, it’s both impressive and a tad concerning, given the potential implications for video content and the web.
The app’s success has sparked a heated debate about the legal and ethical implications of creating fake videos with real people in them. But that’s a conversation for another day.
Once you’ve got an invite, Sora 2 is free to use with, according to OpenAI, “generous” limits on video creation. So, mark your calendars, Android users. Sora 2 might just be the next big thing to hit your screens.
