OpenAI 周二表示，正在停止其 Sora AI 视频应用的服务。
据《华尔街日报》首先报道 OpenAI 决定终止该应用，此举是在该视频平台用户人气下滑之际做出的。
OpenAI 发言人在给 CBS 新闻的声明中表示：”我们已决定终止面向消费者的 Sora 应用及 API 服务。随着我们的计算需求增长和研究重点的聚焦，Sora 研究团队将继续专注于世界模拟研究，以推进机器人技术，帮助人们解决现实世界中的实体任务。”
在社交媒体帖子中，OpenAI 还对 Sora 用户表示感谢，并表示”我们知道这个消息令人失望”。
AI 视频应用凭借其几乎能即时生成视频的能力令科技爱好者惊叹，但也因让区分真实与虚假图像变得更加困难而受到批评。
停止劣质内容
来自 Sora 和其他开发者的大量 AI 生成视频引发了人们对 AI “劣质内容”泛滥的担忧——批评者称这些低质量或故意误导性的视频正在充斥互联网。
ChatGPT 的开发公司 OpenAI 于 2024 年 2 月推出了 Sora，引发了关于人工智能时代内容创作、电影制作和媒体未来的激烈讨论。
2025 年 9 月，OpenAI 发布了功能更强大的 Sora 2 版本，其中一项功能允许用户创建自己、朋友和其他人的”虚拟客串”。该应用迅速登上苹果应用商店榜首。
然而，Sora 也引发了诸多争议。2025 年，一些用户生成了该公司称为”不尊重性描绘”的内容，涉及马丁·路德·金，导致 OpenAI 暂时禁止应用用户使用这位民权活动家的形象制作视频。
此外，用户开始制作包含 Ronald McDonald 等流行角色的视频，也引发了版权问题。
去年 12 月，迪士尼宣布与 OpenAI 达成许可协议，允许用户使用迪士尼、漫威、皮克斯和星球大战的数百个角色制作视频。
迪士尼发言人周二在声明中表示：”我们感谢双方团队的建设性合作以及从中获得的经验，我们将继续与 AI 平台合作，寻找新方式在尊重知识产权和创作者权利的前提下，负责任地拥抱新技术，以便在合适的平台上满足粉丝需求。”
尽管 OpenAI 正在放弃 Sora，但该公司表示 ChatGPT 的 AI 图像生成器将保持完整。
OpenAI 在给 CBS 新闻的声明中称：”我们每天都在研究、产品发布和推理中如何分配计算资源做出权衡，我们正在优先考虑最能推进我们使命的最高价值用途。”

OpenAI pulls the plug on its Sora AI video app
Updated on: March 24, 2026 / 6:00 PM EDT / CBS News
OpenAI said Tuesday that it is discontinuing its Sora AI video app.
The move comes as the video platform wanes in popularity among users, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported OpenAI’s decision to pull the plug.
“We’ve decided to discontinue Sora in the consumer app and API. As we focus and compute demand grows, the Sora research team continues to focus on world simulation research to advance robotics that will help people solve real-world, physical tasks,” an OpenAI spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News.
In a social media post, OpenAI also expressed thanks to Sora users, saying that “we know this news is disappointing.”
AI video apps have wowed tech fans for their ability to almost instantly generate videos, while drawing criticism for making it harder to distinguish real from fake images.
Stop the slop
The torrent of AI-created videos from Sora and other developers heightened concerns about the proliferation of AI “slop” — low-quality or deliberately deceptive videos that critics say are swamping the internet.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, launched Sora in February 2024, sparking vigorous discussion about the future of content creation, filmmaking and media in the age of artificial intelligence.
In September 2025, OpenAI released a more powerful version of the tool, Sora 2, with one feature enabling users to create “cameos” of themselves, friends and others. The app quickly jumped to the top of Apple’s app store.
Yet Sora also generated its fair share of debate. In 2025, the app courted controversy when some users produced what the company characterized as “disrespectful depictions” of Martin Luther King Jr., prompting it to temporarily block app users from making videos using the civil rights activist’s likeness.
Sora also raised copyright concerns after users started making videos with popular characters like Ronald McDonald.
In December of last year, Disney announced that it reached a licensing deal with OpenAI to allow users to create videos with hundreds of characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars.
“We appreciate the constructive collaboration between our teams and what we learned from it, and we will continue to engage with AI platforms to find new ways to meet fans where they are while responsibly embracing new technologies that respect IP and the rights of creators,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.
Although OpenAI is scrapping Sora, the company said ChatGPT’s AI image generator will remain intact.
“Every day we’re making tradeoffs in how we apply compute across research, product launches and inference, and we’re prioritizing the highest-value uses that best advance our mission,” OpenAI said in its statement to CBS News.
