Here’s my (probably too honest) 2 cents on Sora 2. If you’re thinking Sora 2 is gonna be your ticket to instant, high-quality, professional videos, just… temper those expectations. It’s pretty wild tech for messing around and getting hilarious, semi-realistic, sometimes-uncanny shorts in literal seconds. Think: meme central, TikTok remix chaos, or impressing your tech-junkie friends at the next hangout.
But I gotta push back a bit on @shizuka’s “not for pros at all” stance. There IS some value here for pitching rough video concepts fast or storyboarding ideas you’d never animate manually—if you’re a creative who spits ideas faster than you can sketch, Sora 2 is next-level rapid prototyping. Just don’t expect consistency: the AI will still do weird stuff (like swap faces, break physics, or glitch out mid-frame). I’d never trust it for final work, but as a brainstorming buddy? Pretty solid.
Annoyances: invite-only and US/Canada only is a bummer. Also, the resolution paywall is gonna sting once the free honeymoon ends—especially with no clue what pricing will be. Short video limits are frustrating if you dream big, but fair for scrolling and dopamine hits.
Honestly, it boils down to this: If you like being the first to try buzzy (if glitchy) stuff and can live with weird artifacts/no control over price, try to snag an invite. But if you want serious, reliable, or high-res stuff? Wait. The tech’s just not there yet, and your wallet might thank you later.
TL;DR: Sora 2 = amazing toy or MVP demo tool. Not ready for “hire me, Hollywood!” unless you’re okay with your movie starring a rubber chicken version of yourself.
