OpenAI on Thin Ice: How “Sora 2” and Adult ChatGPT Opened a Can of Worms - Learn English Phrasal Verbs
Manage episode 516924876 series 3615992
OpenAI just rolled out two controversial new updates that have users and investors asking, “What are they thinking?”
The first is Sora 2, a platform some call “TikTok for AI-generated content,” where users can make realistic videos of anyone — living or dead. The second is a new adult-content mode in ChatGPT, approved only for verified users.
While OpenAI says these moves are about creative freedom, critics warn they could open a can of worms around copyright, ethics, and profit motives. Some say the company had to resort to risky ideas to bring in new revenue while still banking on its long-term AI vision.
But with rising costs and public backlash, many believe OpenAI may now be on thin ice.
🎙️ In this episode of Phrasal Verb News, Grant breaks down the full story and teaches 6 key expressions from the headlines:
💡 Vocabulary You’ll Learn:
1️⃣ Roll out – to launch or introduce something new
2️⃣ Resort to – to do something extreme when there’s no better option
3️⃣ Open a can of worms – to cause new, complicated problems
4️⃣ Bring in – to attract or generate money, users, or attention
5️⃣ Bank on – to depend on or expect something to happen
6️⃣ On thin ice – to be in a risky or unstable situation
Each comes with real examples, Spanish translations, and practice questions to help you use them confidently at work or in conversation.
