‚When naming its new service, OpenAI had a multitude of options to choose from,‘ according to Cameo, which allows people to purchase personal messages from celebs.
OpenAI is facing yet another lawsuit, this time from the Cameo app, which accuses the AI company of infringing on its trademark with the Cameo feature inside the Sora video generator.
Sora 2 debuted as an invite-only iOS app last month with a feature called Cameo, which allows users to upload their face and voice to the app and create AI-generated videos of themselves. More recently, it added the option to create character Cameos, which generate clips of „the characters in your life and imagination“, OpenAI says.
The Cameo app argues that using the Cameo moniker inside Sora is „a blatant disregard for the obvious confusion it would create.“
The Cameo app allows people to purchase personal messages from celebrities, influencers, and other public figures. With the launch of Cameo on Sora, however, some of those celebs—including Mark Cuban, Ricky Berwick, and Jake Paul—have opened their Sora Cameos, allowing anyone on Sora to generate their own videos featuring them.
„Users seeking a personalized celebrity video now have a choice—use [the] Cameo service to book talent and receive an authentic, custom video prepared by that celebrity, or use Sora’s ‚Cameo‘ service to create an extremely realistic AI-generated video featuring a celebrity’s likeness“, Cameo says.
