OpenAI is reportedly planning to integrate its AI video generator Sora into ChatGPT soon. According to a report by The Information, which cited people familiar with the matter, OpenAI is expected to continue running Sora as a standalone app as well.
OpenAI released Sora as a separate app in September 2025. The platform allows users to generate short videos using AI by typing prompts. These AI-generated clips can then be shared with others on a feed, where users can browse, like and comment on others’ creations.
However, the app’s early days highlighted some of the challenges that come with powerful AI video generation capabilities. Within 24 hours of the launch, many users began creating unusual and sometimes disturbing content using the platform. A large number of these videos featured deepfakes of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Some of the clips showed Altman in strange situations, including serving fictional characters like Pikachu and Eric Cartman at Starbucks. Others depicted him shouting at customers at McDonald’s and stealing GPUs from a store. The realistic visuals created by Sora made some of the deepfakes appear surprisingly convincing.

The report about Sora’s possible integration into ChatGPT comes at a time when OpenAI is facing some public backlash in the United States. Recent data from Sensor Tower revealed that the ChatGPT mobile app saw a sharp increase in uninstallations after OpenAI announced a partnership with the United States Department of Defense. Uninstall numbers in the US jumped by about 295 percent day-over-day on February 28. Downloads of the app also declined, dropping 13 percent on the same day and continuing to fall on March 1.
