OpenAI’s Sora leaked before launch? Protesting artists say company treated them like ‘PR puppets’

OpenAI’s highly anticipated text-to-video generation model, Sora, may take longer to become available. The Sam Altman-led company has reportedly suspended access to Sora after a group of artists leaked access to the tool.

According to reports, the group of artists was unhappy with OpenAI’s treatment of creative professionals who are testing the tool with minimal pay. The aggrieved artists said that they were being used as ‘PR puppets’ by the company.
