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:
