Testers Leak OpenAI's New AI Video Generator, Claiming They Were Used as 'Unpaid Labor'


A group of artists claimed that OpenAI expected them to contribute to Sora's development and give the company free publicity.

In an effort to fight back, the creatives leaked Sora to the public on Tuesday and allowed a broader pool of users to experiment with the tool for free. OpenAI shut down early access to Sora after the leak had been live for three hours; the tool posted to Hugging Face is no longer functional. An OpenAI spokesperson told the Washington Post that participating in the Sora early access program "is voluntary, with no obligation to provide feedback or use the tool."
