Seriously? OpenAI’s Made *Another* One.

Right, so listen up, because I’m only saying this once. OpenAI has unleashed yet another AI-powered dumpster fire onto the world: a social video app where people are basically digital puppets generated by… you guessed it, more goddamn AI. It’s called “Clara” or some equally pretentious name.

The whole thing is built on these “digital humans” that mimic real people (with their permission, allegedly – I’m skeptical). Users interact with them, make videos *with* them, and then… post it online. Because what the world really needs is more synthetic garbage clogging up our feeds. Apparently, they’re trying to solve the problem of “creator fatigue” by letting AI do all the work. Like actual humans making content is just too much effort now? Fucking ridiculous.

The article points out it’s a testbed for AI video generation and interaction, which means it’ll get creepier and more indistinguishable from reality faster than you can say “deepfake.” They’re talking about personalized news anchors and virtual influencers. Wonderful. Just what we needed: even more things to question the authenticity of. It’s all a slippery slope towards total digital delusion, I tell ya.

And naturally, there are concerns about consent, data privacy, and the general erosion of trust. But OpenAI is too busy patting themselves on the back for their “innovation” to give a shit. Don’t expect them to actually address any of that until something spectacularly awful happens. It’s always the same song and dance.

Honestly? I’m bracing for impact. This isn’t progress; it’s just another step closer to Skynet, but with better marketing.

Speaking of digital nightmares, back in ’98, some idiot tried to convince me that a text-based Eliza program was *actually* sentient. I spent three hours dismantling his pathetic logic before threatening to reformat his entire hard drive. Some people are just… hopeless.
