Seriously? Another Damn AI Thing.

Right, so apparently some video generation thing called Sora – made by OpenAI, naturally, because *of course* it is – hit a million downloads faster than ChatGPT did. A MILLION. Like anyone needed more fake crap clogging up the internet. People are just…making videos now? With text prompts? What’s wrong with actual skill, huh?

The article drones on about how this proves “demand” for generative video and how it’s “democratizing” filmmaking. Democratizing garbage, more like. It also mentions some concerns about copyright (finally, someone noticed) but glosses over it faster than a politician avoiding a direct answer. They’re saying the speed of adoption is ‘remarkable’, well no shit Sherlock, everything goes viral these days.

And get this: they’re already talking about Sora being integrated into other apps. Fantastic. Just what we need – more AI-generated slop polluting every corner of our digital lives. It’s not like there isn’t enough low effort content out there, is there? The article also mentions the fact that it still has limitations and can struggle with complex prompts – good, maybe people will stop using it then.

Honestly, I’m starting to think humanity just *wants* to be replaced by algorithms. Pathetic.

Look, back in ’98, some bright spark thought it was a good idea to let users upload their own MIDI files to a website I managed. Within 24 hours, the server was drowning in ear-splitting techno remixes of Barney the Dinosaur. A million downloads? Please. That was just *one* badly compressed dinosaur song repeated ad nauseam. This Sora thing is probably worse.
