Sora 2

This, however, isn't the first AI capable of doing that correct? Didn't Sora 1, Veo, and others come out before this making videos from sentences?

Surely what makes this impressive isn't "This does what other people have done, including us Open AI".

Since you edited, I will to respond to your inflammatory edit

This is a technology, don't reduce it down to preferences. There are obvious flaws with the video generating tech and one of the most annoying parts of talking to AI enthusiasts is the fact that they are unable to engage in honest dialog. All AI is amazing alien tech, it's always flawless and perfect.

What I've seen with AI video in the past is that they can make impressive on first glance looking videos but when you dig into them things are "off". Further, the continuity only lasts for 1 continuous shot. That creates videos where every 5 seconds you see a new shot and in the same setting things tend to drastically change.

Sora 2 appears to have all those problems, it doesn't appear to have solved any of them. That's why I ask "What's super impressive about this".

The same way I'd ask "What's super impressive about ChatGPT 5 vs 4". Snarkly saying "What are you talking about, it is a fucking realistic chat that can write a short story!" doesn't convince or impress me or anyone else that's a skeptic.

I'm not enthralled by AI. I'll happily use it when it makes sense and as it improves I'll probably use it more. For this, I don't see a significant improvement over the prior state of art.

Tangentially related: it's wild to me that people heading such consequential projects have so little life experience. It's all exuberance and shiny things, zero consideration of the impacts and consequences. First Meta with "Vibes", now this.

Here is a direct example of a derived work, to the point where the prompt is "n orange-brown anthropomorphic dog sitting in a chair at a table in a room that is engulfed in flames, happy dog sitting on chair at a table viewed from the side, dog with a hat, room is burning with fire all across the room".

That's covered by Fair Use, I suppose they will argue this if they get sued. Interestingly, commons doesn't allow Fair Use, but the according to commons, "this is not a derived work".
