There is nothing social about an app which auto-generates videos designed to keep you scrolling.
We are already struggling with with apps designed to steal our attention (TikTok, YouTube Reels).
I don't mean to sound like a doomer, but this can't end well.

"Late stage enshittification."
We're already at a point where more often than not people want to quit using online apps. I wonder if at some point we'll end up with the internet being completely abandoned because we did nothing to keep it usable?
Similar scenario to what might likely happen to our planet, now that I think of it.

> Users can create videoclips up to 10 seconds long using OpenAI’s next-generation video model, according to documents viewed by WIRED. There is no option to upload photos or videos from a user’s camera roll or other apps.
This sounds to me like an ill-fortuned investor-driven strategy to prolong unsustainable AI economy growth, but I have been wrong about other unicorn ideas in the past.

I don't think a lot of people will use this to be honest as this would need to compete with TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts - all of which are already very addictive.
problem is Sora even that good... I have tried prompting it and got very poor results with it.
If you look at the fastest growing channels on YouTube they are dominated by AI generated content. (E.g. this is the fastest growing channel right now - https://www.youtube.com/@MastersOfProphecy/videos)
Whether we like it or not, people find AI content engaging, and it will only get more engaging over time.

36M subs in a year? That account is super fishy

The view counts on that channel are orders of magnitude away from the fastest growing channels.
In this comment a hallucination?

No - they are the fastest growing by subscribers count.
Note that they exist for only a year and went from 0 to 36M subscribers.

OK, but given the view counts those are obviously fraudulent subscriptions
36M subscribers but 10K views per video. Yeah something tells me that channel is botted.

That channel is really… bad? The comments are suspicious and nonspecific, something is off.

The economic bet there are enough mentally ill people who reject reality... looking at the state of affairs in tech and politics this might actually pay off.
Who is asking for this?
How is this making society better?
Are they really this desperate to find a use case for their expensive tech?

Investors that want returns on their investments.

Double-check this quarter's numbers.

Doesn't matter as long as there is a return on investment.

OpenAI is a public benefit company with caps on profit to investors. It is backed by a non profit.
So your whole argument is quite weak.

This feels like some kind of weird pivot for investors… or doom-scrolling junkies.
