I initially gave it six months but I guess I should have given it six days www.404media.co/behind-the-b...
But the thing about slop on those platforms is that it exists alongside real humans, and coming across a truly weird piece of AI content while scrolling hits the right horror-disgust-pleasure point on our lizard brains to make it engaging. When it’s all slop all the time, is that going to eventually become extremely bland? I’m thinking yes, and Sora will be an experiment in platforms that OpenAI abandons within the year. I think it’ll go the way of Zuck’s nu-metaverse and not be fun anymore soon enough. It’s like smoking a whole pack of cigarettes in one sitting: not that enjoyable if you’re allowed, and not that salacious or fun once it’s all you get. I think reader Tony S has it right in their comment on Jason's Sora blog: "There's no way that anyone is using this as a 'social media' app in a week or two. The scammers will surely just add it to their growing list of tools that let them rip off advertisers by flooding Facebook and YouTube and where ever else they think they can make $5 on ads with cheap, fast garbage. I truly wonder at what point do the advertisers stop spending money on all these online ads, knowing that this is what they're advertising alongside. The ecosystem has to hit a point of being so polluted that they and the audiences move on, right?"
