This is clearly a sign that the product failed to draw in enough customers and its viability was overhyped.

Hopefully, it is the start of the AI bubble bursting.

It was used almost exclusively for slop and slop-based ads or videos that shouldn't be slop. I was on there yesterday and some account had 2 videos of a woman in front of a plain wall talking for 15 seconds about tax implications for investments. A real human could have filed it with an iphone in 3 minutes.

But now that's Google and Grok's problems, I guess.

those 15seconds used alot of power, like megawatts.

If the audio and video is AI-generated I'm going to assume that the script is, too.

Oh no, it was very specific and hard to cram all the words in to the time. Typical Sora is that it's either screaming or long pauses.

I've had to do training at work that I'm fairly certain was mostly AI generated. The pics and audio seemed to be. And even the questions that I had to get right in order to complete the training... Some of them just weren't covered in the training. Come on

I had a safety thing about a year ago and at the end it asked a question the the effect of " there's broken glass on the shop floor, what should you do" . I picked the option to use a broom and dust pan but apparently the correct tool for glass clean up is a pair of tongs...
