"SORA is correctly applauded for its object consistency during a shot, but there is nothing to help make anything from the first shot match in a second shot"
"There’s a little bit of temporal control … but it’s not precise… it’s kind of a shot in the dark – like a slot machine – as to whether or not it actually accomplishes those things at this point"
Sounds like such a great tool. Just as advertised 😐
My take on #Sora and #AI generated media is, we're asking the wrong questions - as usual. It's not whether AI can replace directors, writers, editors and actors.
It can't.
The real question is - does it matter?
What were going to see, for some time anyway, is overproduction of content. Unspecific, frictionless mush to be displayed between ads. What we increasingly see on streaming platforms is approaching that nadir right now.
Generated slop for the masses, "artisanal" media for the elite.
“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.
It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.
I guess we wait this one out until the “AI” bubble bursts due to the incredible subsidization the entire industry is undergoing. It is not profitable. It is not sustainable.
It will not last—but the damage to our planet and fallout from the immense amount of wasted resources will.
"#OpenAI is now actively pitching studios on #Sora. But nothing I’ve seen so far has convinced me that Sora has any real utility beyond, once again, low-grade crap.
Which is certainly true in the case of "Late Night with the Devil". The AI interstitials aren’t so awful that they break the whole movie…but they do stick out like a sore thumb…
Is the quick fix worth it? #moviestudios are about to discover it’s not."
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#Sora#YouTube#Copyright: "The use of YouTube videos to train OpenAI’s text-to-video generator would be an infraction of the platform's terms of service, YouTube Chief Executive Officer Neal Mohan said.
In his first public remarks on the topic, Mohan said he had no firsthand knowledge of whether OpenAI had, in fact, used YouTube videos to refine its artificial intelligence-powered video creation tool, called Sora. But if that were the case, it would be a “clear violation” of YouTube’s terms of use, he said.
“From a creator’s perspective, when a creator uploads their hard work to our platform, they have certain expectations,” Mohan said Thursday in an interview with Emily Chang, host of Bloomberg Originals. “One of those expectations is that the terms of service is going to be abided by. It does not allow for things like transcripts or video bits to be downloaded, and that is a clear violation of our terms of service. Those are the rules of the road in terms of content on our platform.”" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-04/youtube-says-openai-training-sora-with-its-videos-would-break-the-rules
📞 Introducing voice & video call for the Fediverse ✨
Sora is a futuristic Fediverse client for Mastodon, Bluesky, Misskey, Pleroma all in one. Comes with local ML to curate posts and the For You timeline.
In the next update V10, Sora allows you to have a Peer-to-Peer call using Fediverse credentials.
#Sora CTO seems like she's generated by AI herself. The moment it's asked anything specific, it just freezes for a minute and then starts spewing bullshit.
Faszinierend und beängstigend: Mit der OpenAI-Software "Sora" lassen sich durch einfache Textbefehle Videos erstellen, die täuschend echt aussehen.
Das eröffnet Gefahren der Manipulation, aber auch kreative Möglichkeiten. Die Gefahr von Missbrauch ist hoch - gerade in einem "Superwahljahr" wie diesem. Noch ist die Nutzung Testern vorbehalten.
Following the emergence of AI image generators last year, the introduction of #Sora last week gives us now access to text-to-video generators. Would you guess what our take is on this?
OpenAI just revealed Sora – an AI video generator that creates hyper-realistic scenes and animated worlds in moments. But the tech isn’t perfect. There are also concerns over misinformation, with OpenAI saying it’s taking actions to get ready for the 2024 presidential election, including prohibiting the use of its tools for political campaigning.
(1/2) By now you've probably heard about #Sora and the latest wave of #AI-driven text-to-#video tools. It's all quite spectacular, but far from perfect. If you take a closer look, it's still possible to detect synthetic content. Essential pro tips: Play everything in slow motion. Consider real world physics – and logic.
