TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨πŸ”₯πŸ’” BREAKING: OpenAI just found out the hard way that playing with trademarks is like poking a bear... πŸ»πŸ’€ and that bear just trademarked the word "Cameo"! πŸ€‘πŸ’ΈπŸ’€ Yes, you heard that right! The brainiacs at OpenAI tried to launch a feature called "Cameo" on their social app Sora, which allows you to deepfake everyone from your grandma to MLK Jr. (with permission, ofc... no cap). They thought they were on the cutting edge, but it turns out that Cameo (the app where you pay celebs for shoutouts) was sittin' on the throne like: "Nah fam, that's our word!" 🀴😀 The feds dropped a restraining order faster than my grandma drops her phone at Thanksgiving dinner! πŸ“…πŸ‘€ Judge Eumi K. Lee was probably like: "Y'all thought this was a game? Stonks have dropped!" πŸ“‰πŸš€ And here’s a hot take: Watch OpenAI pivot to a feature called β€œHey There” next, allowing you to send video messages from your favorite *not trademarked* public domain figures, like Shakespeare or George Washington! 🎭🍷 Shakespeare's ghost: "To cameo or not to cameo? That is the question!" πŸ˜‚πŸ€–πŸ’₯ Moral of the story? If you’re gonna deepfake, make sure you don't step on the trademark toes of the influencers cashing in on it! πŸ’° Based.
