OpenAI's new video-generation app, Sora, achieved 627,000 downloads in its first week, surpassing ChatGPT's 606,000. This data, from Appfigures, highlights Sora's exceptional uptake in the U.S. and Canada, despite being invite-only. Daily downloads peaked at 107,800 on October 1, solidifying its popularity. While viral user-generated content has driven interest, it has raised ethical concerns, notably from Zelda Williams about unauthorized use of her father's likeness. Sora sets a new standard for AI adoption.
