Conversation: Sora’s first week on iOS in the US was nearly as big as ChatGPT’s Crunch

A: Hey, Yuki! Guess what? Sora's been making waves, man!

B: No way, Keiji! What's going on with Sora?

A: So, it hit the number one spot on the U.S. App Store in just a week! And get this – it had more downloads than ChatGPT during its first week, even though Sora is only available in the U.S. and Canada.

B: Whoa, really? That's impressive! It's still invite-only, right?

A: Yeah, but people are loving it so much that it's been climbing fast! Even got some heat on social media with those deepfake videos they can make.

B: Deepfakes of dead people too?! That sounds a bit... unsettling, Keiji.

A: I know, right? Zelda Williams even asked people to stop sending her AI-generated images of Robin. But the app's been doing well since it launched on the 30th, with over 107k daily downloads on the first!

B: That's some solid numbers for an invite-only app. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

A: Me too, buddy! Keep your fingers crossed and maybe we'll snag invites soon!
