A lot of people tried it.

Personally, I tried it and I remember it was super hard to get access to Sora when it first launched because you had to have an invite code.

And then once you got on, you could invite like 15 people and

Or maybe you got like 10 invite codes that you could share.

Anyways, it was, you know, it was kind of a headache to get access to this.

But once you did, personally, I made like a handful of videos is kind of funny, kind of a novelty.

And I moved on because I mean, basically, the place that they made this the most accessible was they did, I believe, have Sora.com.

But

or they do, but the app was kind of the main place.

And to be honest, I don't think a lot of people had a lot of interest in just using an app that was exclusively AI generated.

I mean, really just like AI slop.

There was a post that someone recently shared of the App Store downloads for Sora in the United States.

Actually, I think it was Canada, Japan and the United States.

Total downloads was about 4.58 million.

Average monthly downloads is about one and a half million.

But the graph of kind of the daily downloads on this since November to January, and I don't even have the full chart beyond January for the last couple of months, but it was kind of in November, somewhere around 100,000 a day dropping off significantly to under 25,000 a day as of January.

So I don't think I don't think it's, you know, something that's

it basically had a major drop off in popularity as I think basically people just tried it they used it and uh you know it's kind of a fun little novelty but beyond that it wasn't super super exciting now one thing that someone posted trunest on x they said is this not extremely pointless someone will replace Sora and it'll be 10 times more AI slop when they say someone will replace Sora I think a lot of people kind of have this are kind of coming from this line of reasoning that like oh opening eyes trying to do like uh

I don't know, like a noble thing to get rid of AI so we don't have AI slop videos.

At the end of the world, or at the end of the day, like Google has VO3, which is a really powerful video model.
