OpenAI Faces Deepfake and Copyright Challenges with Sora

[ed]

Despite its popularity, Sora has faced criticism over deepfake content. Users uploaded disrespectful videos of historical figures, prompting OpenAI to pause content featuring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and strengthen its content guardrails.

OpenAI also adjusted its copyrighted content policy from “opt-out” to “opt-in,” affecting characters like SpongeBob and Pikachu.

Additionally, the company is in a legal dispute with Cameo over the app’s flagship feature name.

AI isn’t becoming useless — it’s just entering the “parental controls enabled” phase.
The creativity always finds a backdoor.

Guardrails were inevitable — the real challenge will be keeping innovation alive without killing creativity.
AI that can’t experiment won’t evolve.

We’re witnessing the same pattern as early internet days:
Phase 1: Wild West
Phase 2: Outrage & regulation
Phase 3: Useful, safe mass adoption
Sora will adapt — it’s too powerful not to.
