Someone remind me the benefits of mass produced fake videos again?
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 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…
One conversation I remember was complaining about people who constantly want AI pictures of anime feet.
I think OpenAI is just responding to the users.

What am I looking at that's super technically impressive here? The clips look nice, but from one cut to the next there's a lot of obvious differences (usually in the background, sometimes in the foreground).
I've seen a lot of "this is impressive" but I'm not really seeing it. This looks to suffer from all the same continuity problems other AI videos suffer from.

How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself?
What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why would I want to watch any of this?
You might not want to. It's definitely not appealing to me in any way shape or form. The younger generations however will likely gobble it right up. I try not to judge because folks said the same thing about Nintendo when I was young.
I know the comments here are gonna be negative but I just find this so sick and awesome. Feels like it's finally close to the potential we knew was possible a few years ago. Feels like a pixar moment when CG tech showed a new realm of what was possible with toy story
These videos are a very impressive engineering feat. There are a lot of uses for this capability that will be beneficial to society, and in the coming years people will come up with more good uses nobody today has thought of yet. But clearly we also see some major downsides. We already have an epidemic of social media rotting people's minds, and everything about this capability is set to supercharge these trends. Ope…
Are there? “A lot” of them? Please name a few that will be more beneficial than the very obvious detrimental uses like “making up life-destroying lies about your political opponents or groups of people you want to vilify” or “getting away with wrongdoing by convincing the judge a real video of yourself is a deepfake”.
That last one has already ben tried, by the way.

As a gauge for how seriously I should take your critique: How many hours a week are you actively using AI tools yourself? What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?
2 or 3. Mostly LLMs to check code.
> What percentage of public comments that you’ve made about AI tools have been skeptical or critical?
Probably around 90%.
So sell me. Why is this super impressive? I'm happy to admit that I'm pretty pessimistic about AI.
I have an eye for continuity issues, they are pretty obvious to me. Am I just too focused on that sort of a thing?
I wonder if they're going to license this to brands for heavily personalized advertisement. Imagine being able to see videos of yourself wearing clothes you're buying online before you actually place the order, instead of viewing them on a model. If they got the generation "live" enough, imagine walking past a mirror in a department store and seeing yourself in different clothes. Wild times.
You don't need generative AI for that at all, snapchat filters have existed for a decade and are the same concept. A lot of brands have already adopted that.
