OpenAI Faces Backlash as Artists Leak Sora Video Model

OpenAI is facing criticism from a group called PR Puppets, who are part of the Sora video-generation tool's testing program, over the rollout and development of the tool. PR Puppets released an open letter urging OpenAI to be more transparent and supportive of artists, which was updated with signatures from several artists, though not all were part of the official testing group. OpenAI maintains that Sora is still in research preview, with input from hundreds of artists, and is working on balancing creativity with safety. The public release of Sora has been delayed to address model perfection and safety concerns.
