OpenAI ends Disney partnership as it closes Sora video-making app
BBC News2 days
Sora built a real creative community, and shutting it down is a genuine loss for the people who invested time and energy into it. The platform gave creators tools to make something meaningful, and that work deserves to be preserved. Killing Sora pulls the rug out from under a growing ecosystem that was just finding its footing.
Sora was AI video slop masquerading as creativity, and its shutdown is genuinely good news. It represented the worst impulses of the AI economy — flooding the internet with low-effort generated content that undercuts real human artistry. Good riddance to a platform that never should have existed in the first place.
