Key claims in source B
However, it apparently hasn't been successful enough, as OpenAI has announced it will shut down the Sora app, though no exact timetable was given as of this writing.
Some believe the shutdown could be tied to OpenAI's plans to turn the company into a potential IPO, something we have seen numerous reports about in the past few weeks.
Others rejoiced that there might be less AI slop in the world, though considering how much AI 'slop' is being used to promote phones and other devices, those celebrations are likely short-lived.
Both are reasonable reasons to shutter the app, especially if reports that OpenAI could be spending upwards of $15 million per day on Sora are anything to go by.
