The internet has once again blurred the line between truth and fabrication after AI videos of Jake Paul 'coming out as gay' flooded social media platforms.

OpenAI's recent launch of its text-to-video AI generator, Sora 2, introduced a new level of realism to synthetic media.

According to OpenAI, participants can 'drop themselves straight into any Sora scene with remarkable fidelity' after a short verification process.
