Unless they drop something mega in the next few months can't help but think that openai's moat is basically gone for now at least.

#42No API/per video generation? Huh.
OpenAI almost always waits a few months before adding new features or models to the API, the same happened to DALL-E 3, advanced voice mode, and lots of smaller model updates and releases.

#43Pricing: Plus Tier (20$/month) - Up to 50 priority videos (1,000 credits) - Up to 720p resolution and 5s duration Pro Tier (200$/month) - Up to 500 priority videos (10,000 credits) - Unlimited relaxed videos - Up to 1080p resolution, 20s duration and 5 concurrent generations - Download without watermark more info: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10245774-sora-billing-cr...
Called it, they were sitting on Sora until the $200 tier launched. Between the watermarking and 50 video limit the $20 tier is functionally a trial.

#44I've found using these and similar tools that the amount of prompts and iteration required to create my vision (image or video in my mind) is very large and often is not able to create what I had originally wanted. A way to test this is to take a piece of footage or an image which is the ground truth, and test how much prompting and editing it takes to get the same or similar ground truth starting from scratch. It is…

Agreed. It’s still much better than what I could do myself without it, though. (Talking about visual generative AI in general)
Yeah, but if I handed you a Maxfield Parrish it would be better than either of us can do — but not what I asked for.
I find generative AI frustrating because I know what I want. To this point I have been trying but then ultimately sitting it out — waiting for the one that really works the way I want.

#46Not available in the EU: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10250692-sora-supported-...
What did the EU do this time?

I think inpainting and "draw the label scene" type interfaces are the obvious future. Never thought I'd miss GauGAN [1].
Re: Sora is here
#48Yawn, there are literally 10 different apps and wannabe startups that do video generation and AI videos have already flooded social media. This doesn't look any better than what is and has been already available to the masses. OpenAI announced this ages ago and never did give people access, now competitors have already captured the AI generated video for social media slop market.
We have yet to see any kind of AI created movie, like Toy Story was for computer 3D animation.
OpenAI isn't a player in the video AI game, but certainly has bagged most of the money for it already (somehow).

#49Though I like the novelty of AI generated content, it kind of sucks dead internet theory is becoming more and more prevalent. YouTube (and all of the web) is already being spammed with AI generated slop and "better" video/text/audio models only make this worse. At some point we will cross the threshold of "real" and "generated" content being posted on the web and there's no stopping that.
Put more weight on your subscriptions. I don’t have much AI content in my YouTube suggestions. (Good luck AI generating an interview with Chris Lattner or Stephen Kotkin for example. It won’t work.)
It will work within thousands of days.

My hope was that AI would make it easier for people to create new things that haven't been done before, but my fear was that it would just be an endless slop machine. We're living in the endless slop machine timeline and even genuine attempts to make something artistic end up just coming off as more slop. I love this timeline.
Even if it's made with AI, it is slop only if you don't add anything original in your prompt, and don't spend much time selecting.
The real competition of any new work is the backlog of decades of content that is instantly accessible. Of course it makes all content less valuable, you can always find something else. Hence the race for attention and the slop machine. It was actually invented by the ad driven revenue model.
We should not project on AI something invented elsewhere. Even if gen AI could make original interesting works, the social network feeds would prioritize slop back again. So the problem is the way we let them control our feeds.
