I haven't seen comments regarding a big factor here: It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. The webapp is heavily geared towards consumption, with a feed as the entry point, liking and commenting for posts, and user profiles having a prominent role. The creation aspect seems about as important as on Instagram, TikTok etc - easily available, but not the primary focus. Genera…

> It seems like OpenAI is trying to turn Sora into a social network - TikTok but AI. That's a direct copy of what Midjourney has done already. https://www.midjourney.com/explore?tab=videos Many people are just playing with images and the distinctive styles that Midjourney (the model) seems to have developed. It's also trained by ratings and people's interactions. When you make images you can dial down the "aesthetic"…

This app might top the charts via hype initially but I can't see why someone would stick with it long-term compared to other alternatives. Plus creators would have to pay soon to make these videos, what are they getting back? Unless they can make money via this

I posit this is the real story. OpenAI did not stealthily release Sora 2 to the image and video ELO ranking leaderboards ahead of time as is now somewhat tradition. This model is probably designed to run fast and cheap as a social play. Emphasis on putting you and your friends into popular franchises and IPs. OpenAI probably has a totally different model for their Hollywood-grade VFX. One that's too expensive to offe…

Why would I want to watch any of this?

Just like how the hype on Ghibli art styles via ChatGPT died, same will probably happen here

Wow that is dark, after Ghiblis staunch stance on AI. These companies and their shareholders really are complete scum in my eyes, just like AI in miltech. Not because the tech isn't super interesting but because they steal years of hard work and pain from actual artists with zero compensation - and then they brag about it in the most horrible way possible, with zero empathy. Then comes losing the little humanity left…

The Miyzaki quote is out of context, he isn't talking about generative AI but rather a 2016 animation of a creepy zombie whose limbs are controlled by AI.

No, the zombie context is actually not that relevant, given he says "We as humans are losing faith in themselves" in response to the AI animation. He's clearly disgusted by the entire concept of machine generated art.

People are doing cool things with it. Here’s one example: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreamrelicc Before AI, each video on this channel would have taken a large team with a Hollywood budget to create. In a few more years, one person may be able to turn their creative vision into a full-length movie.

I speak for everyone when I say we don't need these videos at all and would be better off without them

I disagree, so not everyone, I guess!

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh. That was so impressive. I had to go back to the start and confirm it said "Everything you're about to see is Sora 2" when I saw Sam do that intro. I thought there was a prologue that was native film before getting to the generated content.

I'm sorry but that's a gross exageration. If any of this was real film then I'd start a gofundme page for OpenAI to get better video production equipment and team because that would be laughably bad. If anything, it looks a lot worse than a lot of AI-generated videos I've seen in the past, despite being a tech demo with carefully curated shots. Veo 3 just blows this out of the water for example.

Anecdotally, I forgot multiple times that I was watching AI generated content, and my partner tuning in and out of it asked me a few times if we were watching the demo (as opposed to the real video). We are both pretty sensitive to slop too. I think something has flipped here.

This makes me less excited about the future of video, not more. It's technically impressive, but all so very soulless. When everything fake feels real, will everything real feel fake?

Truly wonder if there will be some kind of renaissance in the video making domain when all settles down and this becomes the new normal.

The ease of creating visually titillating media, coupled with the difficultly of consistency works against the creation of narrative media. I sure hope we don't get a generation of non-narrative beautiful slop.

The example prompt "intense anime battle between a boy with a sword made of blue fire and an evil demon demon" is super clearly just replicating Blue Exorcist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Exorcist

That, and the dragon looking straight out of How to Train Your Dragon - I wonder if they have agreements with the right holders, or if they expect massive lawsuits to create free advertising for their launch.
