Will Crypto scam hit the next level? Openai releases SORA 2

A major advancement in AI’s realistic settings and the ability to replicate human behavior came in the recent announcement of Sora 2, Openai’s flagship model for creating audio and video. The original SORA, released in February 2024, was likened to the GPT-1 moment of video, an early concept that suggests the future of video.

Introducing a new model

The leap in the Sora 2 is much more refined. This model now follows physical laws with accuracy, rather than creating static or distorted images. For example, a missed basketball shot no longer teleports to the hoop, but instead realistically bounces off the backboard.

In addition to providing enhanced simulation and entertainment value, SORA 2 also opens up new paths for deception. Surreal fraudulent content is one of the major issues facing the cryptocurrency industry, particularly.

Different types of use cases

Cryptocurrency Scams has relied on in-depth videos of people who have promoted fake projects for people like Elon Musk, Vitalik Buterin and Michael Saylor. They were easily recognized as fake by many viewers due to obvious errors and robotic narration. Next-generation scams can be roughly identical to reality thanks to SORA 2’s ability to create natural flowing dialogue and physics-based visuals.

Imagine a very convincing announcement by Michael Saylor touting a Bitcoin investment scheme. Combined with SORA 2’s ability to create dynamic multi-scene videos, scammers were able to create fictional panel discussions, meeting speeches, or interviews.

Ironically, the same technology that allows for simulation, education and cinema innovation can also be used as a weapon to undermine the reliability of online content. Phishing and lag pull is already a problem for the crypto community, but now AI-driven hyperreal fraud that doesn’t look fake is a threat.

The release of SORA 2 should serve as a warning to anyone constantly facing digital content online. Don’t believe everything you see on social media or video hosting. Digital watermarks, verification methods, and AI-powered fraud detection can be as important for the future of cryptocurrency as blockchain technology itself. Currently there is no viable protection against AI fraud. So, staying vigilant is the only protection.
