Hey there, creative human! 🌟 

One week ago, OpenAI dropped Sora 2, and the internet hasn't been the same since. The model is so powerful (and controversial) that it's taking over this week’s issue.

Grab your coffee and let's dive into the chaos 👇

STORY OF THE WEEK

🎥 Sora 2 Hit #1 on the App Store and Social Media Went Wild

OpenAI released Sora 2 with barely any restrictions. Unlike other hyped video models that disappointed post-launch (hello, hallucinations and inconsistency), Sora 2 actually delivered. One week in, and we're seeing hundreds of near-flawless videos created by the community (and not official demos).

Here's what made Sora 2 different

OpenAI cracked the code by:

  • solving character consistency with Cameo (train yourself as an AI model)

  • adding built-in voice training

  • enabling Instagram-style character tagging for multiple people

  • more physically accurate

  • and wrapping it all in an interface so simple, anyone can use it.

What used to require bouncing between tools for voice generation, character training, then manual video editing, now happens in one tool in just minutes!

What people are making

Anime that looks real:

Deepfake videos of Stephen Hawking went viral across social platforms:

Someone generated new Tupac footage that sparked both amazement and ethical debates:

The fallout: These videos sparked immediate controversy over unauthorized IP use. OpenAI's response? They announced ‘granular,’ opt-in copyright controls and revenue-sharing plans for licensed content.

My take: This was a calculated move. “Release with minimal limits, let it go viral in the Wild West phase, then announce controls.” The chaos lasted exactly 5 days, but it was enough to dominate every feed.

The bigger question remains unanswered: Are AI videos replacing real creators? Even MrBeast is worried:

What this means for you?

The gap between "idea" and "quality finished video" just collapsed. Quality video content became radically cheaper and faster to produce - no crew, no equipment, no editing timeline.

Use Sora 2 today for:

  • Social media content – Generate vertical videos, memes, and trending format videos in minutes instead of hours

  • YouTube B-roll – Create custom background footage without stock video subscriptions

  • Proof of concept – Test video ideas before investing in full production

  • Animation sequences – Skip the animator and generate animated explainers or story sequences

  • Ad variations – Test 10 different video ad concepts in an hour instead of a month

  • Social proof content – Create lifestyle videos showing your product in use across different demographics

  • UGC-style testimonials – Generate authentic-looking customer testimonial videos without hiring actors (exampled below)

The reality check: You still need strong concepts and creative direction. Sora 2 removes the production bottleneck, not the need for good ideas.

🎨 Creative of the Week

Remember all that controversy about Sora 2 and unauthorized IP use? Turkish creators just flipped the script - Sam Altman's own image was used to create a video of him visiting Türkiye, speaking fluent Turkish and dancing to traditional music. The irony isn't lost 😀
