OpenAI’s Sora 2 Sparks Concern Among Creators Despite Record App Store Success
OpenAI’s new Sora 2 video app has stirred excitement and worry in equal measure. The AI tool lets users create short videos simply by typing a prompt. However, musicians, actors, and digital artists fear the technology could replace human creativity.
Sora 2 launched quietly but made an instant impact.
The app is currently invite-only and works only on iOS devices. Users need a special access code to join, adding to its exclusivity. Still, that hasn’t slowed its rise — Sora 2 quickly reached the top of Apple’s App Store charts.
According to OpenAI, the app hit one million downloads in under five days. This record-breaking growth shows strong public interest in AI-generated content. However, the creative community remains uneasy. Many worry about how easily people can generate realistic videos without crediting or compensating original artists.
Experts say this tension will continue
As AI becomes more capable. For example, filmmakers fear deepfake misuse, while musicians see a threat to authentic performance. In addition, some argue that tools like Sora could flood social media with synthetic content, blurring the line between real and fake.
Therefore, even as OpenAI celebrates Sora 2’s success, questions about copyright and ethics continue to grow. The technology’s future now depends on how responsibly both creators and developers choose to use it.
