Deception (50%)

• The text says 'Sora is currently only available to 'creditors' who are assessing the model for potential harms and risks.' This is deceptive because it does not explain what 'creditors' means or how they were selected. It also uses vague terms like ‘harms’ and ‘risks’ that are meant to create a sense of urgency without providing any details.
• The text says ‘A couple of years ago, it was text-to-image generators like Midjourney that were at the forefront of models’ ability to turn words into images. But recently, video has begun to improve at a remarkable pace: companies like Runway and Pika have shown impressive text-to-video models of their own, and Google’s Lumiere figures to be one of OpenAI’s primary competitors in this space, too.’ This is deceptive because it does not provide any evidence or data that supports these claims. It also uses biased language like ‘at the forefront’ and ‘impressive’ that are meant to favor certain models over others without providing any comparisons.
• The text says 'Earlier this month, OpenAI announced it's adding watermarks to its text-to-image tool DALL-E 3, but notes that they can 'easily be removed.' This is deceptive because it does not provide any evidence or studies that support the claim that watermarks can be easily removed. It also uses misleading language like ‘easily’ and ‘announced’ that are meant to downplay the issue of watermarks without providing any context.
• The text says 'Like its other AI products, OpenAI will have to contend with the consequences of fake, AI photorealistic videos being mistaken for the real thing.' This is deceptive because it does not provide any examples or evidence of such consequences. It also uses emotional language like ‘consequences’ and 'mistaken' that are meant to create a sense of danger without providing any details.
• The text says 'OpenAI is launching a new video-generation model, and it’can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions.' This is deceptive because it implies that OpenAI created the AI model by themselves, without mentioning any sources or collaborators. It also uses vague terms like 'realistic' and 'imaginative' that are hard to verify or measure.
• The text says ‘OpenAI says the model ‘may struggle with accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene,’ but the results are overall pretty impressive.’ This is deceptive because it does not provide any criteria or standards for what constitutes 'pretty impressive'. It also uses subjective terms like 'impressive' and 'struggle' that are meant to influence the reader’s opinion without providing any facts.
• The text says 'Sora can create complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background.' This is deceptive because it does not provide any examples or evidence of Sora creating such scenes. It also uses emotional language like 'vibrant' to appeal to the reader's emotions without substantiating its claims.
• The text says 'Sora can understand how objects ‘exist in the physical world,’ as well as ‘accurately interpret props and generate compelling characters that express vivid emotions.’’ This is deceptive because it does not cite any sources or studies that support these claims. It also uses vague terms like 'vivid' and 'compelling' that are hard to verify or measure.
• The text says ‘Sora-generated demos included in OpenAI’s blog post include an aerial scene of California during the gold rush, a video that looks as if it were shot from the inside of a Tokyo train, and others.’ This is deceptive because it does not provide any links or references to these videos. It also uses sensationalized language like ‘looks as if’ and 'and others' that are meant to impress the reader without providing any details.
