A few days ago OpenAI released Sora, which was not only the latest version of their video generation model, but also a social app. Humans sign up, but the only content is that generated by users through AI. If you're like me, the very thought of an AI-only generated feed might have given you the "ick." It's not the first time either. The debut of Friend (an AI powered "friend" app / pendant you wear around your neck) got even more backlash recently with their NYC subway ads.

Needless to say, people didn't like it.
