Like a lot of other apps that go viral, it's a novelty that wears off in a few weeks (if that). There's nothing that keeps people on the platform. How many goofy AI generated videos does someone actually want to make? 10? 20? After you've done that, what else is entertaining or amusing? Any _really_ good Sora videos are posted on TikTok or Reels anyway. There's nothing tying you to the platform.
I guess the novelty finally wore off after everyone tried it out for a week. It is definitely cool technology, but I honestly do not see a reason for a normal person to use it every day.
i think similiar to the metaverse, it shows an abstract decoupling between tech CEO's and reality. SORA is a platform that probably looked fantastic on a pitch deck - X amount of $ per AI video compared to Y amount of $ per human video, and you can generate 10 million more!
But focusing an app on the most low effort things is always going to limit it's reach

Explicit AI slop isn’t very desirable. But tricking people into thinking that AI slop is real is, sadly, mostly desirable.
Sora fading may just reinforce that companies need to continue to focus on sneaking in AI slop manifesting as content to drive adoption.
Nailed it!
