What it’s crucial that you know
OpenAI introduced itsSora modelearlier this year.
The AI tool can be used to generate mostly realistic videos by having it follow text prompts.
A new video shared by OpenAI showcases the company’s Sora model.
To showcase advances in its technology, OpenAI shared two “Sora Showcase” videos on YouTube.
Both videos are made by professional creators with the intent of showing the potential of Sora.
One video was created by Singaporean artist Niceaunties, while the other is from British Korean artist David Sheldrick.
I’m not an artist, so me discussing the deeper meaning behind content provides little value.
Instead, I’ll talk about the realism of the video.
Many still images from the video by Niceaunties are impressive, especially at first glance.
As is often the case, humans and motion are more challenging to generate.
Arms and hands look particularly unrealistic at several points in the video.
Again, I doubt all the artifacts are creative decisions.
Sora is still relatively new, so expecting perfection would be unfair.
Limiting AI access
Generative AI, while impressive, also causes concerns for many.
As the technology advances, it may replace jobs.
There are also environmental concerns surrounding AI due to how muchwaterandelectricityit uses.
Politics often bring out the worst in people.
Misinformation already goes viral on social media, even with false claims that seem clearly inaccurate.
We’ve already seenAI be used to spread misinformation.
Bad actors will be able to do more damage if given more tools and left unchecked.
OpenAI was wise to limit access to Sora.
More guardrails need to be in place before anyone can use an AI model to create video content.
I know there are other models available, but OpenAI deserves some credit for its decisions.
