Sora 2 is not just another TikTok filter, but a system that can create moving images, sound, and even a sense of reality from text. The question is no longer whether we will watch AI movies, but whether our everyday lives will become AI movies.
We used to joke: “Write a script and dream that someone will film it.” Sora 2 replies: “Why wait?” A short description is enough – say: “me, on the beach at sunset, with a glass of sparkling wine, while fireworks cut the sky” – and the AI will spit out a video that should have been shot yesterday by a drone, a cameraman and an editor.
This is more than a technological gimmick. It's a cultural shift. Video has always been something that requires effort, logistics, investment. Now it's as easy as a tweet.
Ticket to your own movie
OpenAI has gone one step further: Sora is not just a tool, but a platform. A kind of AI-TikTok where you can appear in your own (or other people's) videos as a character. Your life as a cameo. You can star in a romantic drama, an action thriller, or simply in a sketch you make up while riding the bus.
If it sounds like fun, it is. If it sounds like confusion, it is. Because the moment anyone can create professional-looking videos, the line between “content” and “reality” is blurred.
Reality at the time of copying
Anyone who has any memory of MySpace or the first Nokia cameras knows that we kept thinking that it couldn’t get any more “real” than this. And it did. First HD, then 4K, then deepfake, and now Sora 2. When AI is able to create scenes that no camera has ever captured, we will have to become better directors of our own doubt. The question “is it real?” will become a part of every viewing.
The world as a stage, we as actors
Sora 2 doesn't just mean new possibilities for filmmakers, advertisers, or influencers. It means that each of us becomes a potential character in the stories we make up. It's a democracy of creativity, but also a new form of exhaustion: if everything can be made into a movie, how long will it take for us to just want something real?
Perhaps the future lies precisely in this: that the most luxurious experience will become watching the unedited, unfiltered, unscripted world. That the greatest "premium" format will be precisely that which the camera captures without the help of artificial intelligence.
Sora as a new social scene
As if OpenAI felt that the tool itself wasn’t enough, they also launched the Sora app – a cross between TikTok and a director’s workshop. At first glance, the feed looks familiar: short clips, endless scrolling, algorithms that recognize what you like. The difference is that here we’re not watching clips of real people, but scenes that humans have created together with artificial intelligence. And yes, you can add yourself to these scenes – as a character, a cameo, a digitally avatarized fragment of yourself.
It’s no longer just “sharing content,” it’s playing with your own identity. If TikTok was a dance floor and Instagram a photo album, Sora is a kind of improvised movie set where you never know who will be in the next frame: a friend, an AI, or your tomorrow self. And therein lies the greatest irony: social media has long sold us the idea of authenticity, but now the most authentic fun is happening in a world that is completely fictional.
Conclusion: Sora 2
Sora 2 is not just a technological novelty. It is a cultural litmus test. It shows how quickly we lose faith in visual reality and how much we yearn to be part of the story. If Instagram was the catalog of our lives, Sora will become its film festival.
The question that remains: Will we be the main actors, directors... or just spectators who have forgotten when the generic generation began?
