I don't think anyone is saying it is.

>I don't get why this keeps being framed as a labor thing, it's unlocking genuinely new forms of interactive media. Because it directly impacts people's ability to earn a living. If you truly don't understand this, I think you should spend some time talking to people who are impacted by it. Artists, and so on. Seriously, this is a head-in-the-sand take.
It's very bizarre to act this is being done in order to replace artists. I build gen AI for entertainment: I don't build to replace anyone, and if my product gets eyeballs existing creators can't, it's because it gives the consumer something they wanted to see in the world. Past that you're just complaining that consumers don't want what you made.
However having said that, the intention/aim need not be to deliberately replace creatives. That is not the claim I am making or that anyone in this thread or general public discourse is claiming. The minimal claim is simply that the commodification of art decreases the value and employability of people who perform the same task as the AI. It is also not limited to artists. It is all-encompassing. If an employer can now use AI instead of a copywriter, they will often do that -- big and small business alike. The same can be said for many niche fields which previously required specialized education or training.
I am not saying this from an Anti-AI perspective. I own an AI startup.
But use your big boy brain. It is clear that the commodification of intelligence has a downward market pressure on the market value (which is the PERCEIVED value of an employee in the eyes of the EMPLOYER) for many, if not eventually ALL jobs/roles.
I hate this vacant technology tbh. Every video feels like distilled advert mindless slop. There's still something off about the movements, faces and eyes. Gollum features.

Not to be a downer, but even as someone very optimistic about technology and AI generally, "TikTok but AI" sounds like a societally terrible thing to try and create. What's the benefit of this? Curious if anyone has a solid viewpoint steelmanning any positives they can think of.
Would be fun if this devolved into psychodelic, hypnotic videos that have no cognitively discernable content (like white noise) but evoke an urge to press the like button. I'm just curious if such thing is possible.

We live in an absurd era where "AI Safety" means "AI that doesn't listen to the human telling it what to do". It'll all be rather funny in retrospect.
They're struggling, it seems; AI can generate anything, but that includes stuff that goes against laws and morals, so they spend a lot of time to lock it down to avoid that, but people's creativity with prompts and escaping the safeguards knows no bounds. It's basically like the fight against spam, an endless game of whack-a-mole where usefulness fights with decency.

If this is anything near the demo they have been released, this seems incredibly good at physics. Wow. Can't wait to try the new app.
I predict that this will move some people over, and IG/TT will lose marketshare.

As a social experiment to reveal how senseless and pointless pop entertainment could be. (personal rant) I've been in a mild existential crisis since I read Amusing Ourselves to Death . Can one form of entertainment really be more well-regarded than another? Is fine art fundamentally different from pop art? Are there 'finer' pop cultures amongst all pop cultures? I do still think reading The Song of Ice and Fire is m…
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…
