Not gonna lie, Sora 2 is one of those apps that makes you alternate between “dude, this is the future!” and “lol, did its AI just turn my grandma’s nostrils into portals?” On the plus, nobody’s joking about how fast you can spit out clips—literally a fever dream for ADHD meme lords. Want to make your cat sing “Bohemian Rhapsody” on a rocket with hyper-real lipsync? Go nuts. Interface is so brainless you almost forget how janky the content can get sometimes.
But real talk, the 16 sec max per scene is like being forced to work with TikTok brain at all times. Anyone saying you can “just string scenes together” probably never cried over their main character’s head suddenly turning into a different human. I disagree a little on just how “real” stuff looks. Sure, if you squint, but anything emotional or subtle? It’s like watching deepfake outtakes—hilarious, but not what you’d want for anything important.
One thing not mentioned much: Sora 2 eats phone storage like my dog eats socks. You’ll need gigabytes free, and no real way to batch download/backup yet, so don’t bank your home movie archive here. Also, heads up: Anything involving famous people/faces is basically a lawsuit waiting to happen. TikTok and CapCut aren’t losing sleep yet.
If you just wanna mess around, churn out viral-worthy short clips, and don’t mind handing over some privacy chips to OpenAI’s black box, Sora 2’s a fun sideshow. But if you’re aiming for consistent storylines, professional vibes, or think continuity is sacred—nah, you’ll end up frustrated. Wouldn’t “switch” to it so much as chuck it on your phone for laughs when bored. That 10–16 seconds? Feels like a joke after a day.
