The launch follows a familiar script.

OpenAI rebrands “Cameo” as “Characters,” because who doesn’t love a good rebrand? The feature still lets users chat with fictional characters, but now with a fancier name. Because “Cameo” was just too basic. “Characters” is more descriptive, said no one ever. This is what passes for innovation in AI these days.
