OpenAI is launching a new video-generation model, and it’s called Sora. The AI company says Sora “can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions.” The text-to-video model allows users to create photorealistic videos up to a minute long — all based on prompts they’ve written.

Sora is capable of creating “complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background,” according to OpenAI’s introductory blog post. The company also notes that the model can understand how objects “exist in the physical world,” as well as “accurately interpret props and generate compelling characters that express vibrant emotions.”

The model can also generate a video based on a still image, as well as fill in missing frames on an existing video or extend it. The Sora-generated demos included in OpenAI’s blog post include an aerial scene of California during the gold rush, a video that looks as if it were shot from the inside of a Tokyo train, and others. Many have some telltale signs of AI — like a suspiciously moving floor in a video of a museum — and OpenAI says the model “may struggle with accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene,” but the results are overall pretty impressive.

Looks cool.

Looks cool.

Counting down the nanoseconds until some version of this starts cranking out porn.

Looks weird. The roads in the sides are weird. The trash cans and stuff are weird.

I mean, it's neat but, weird.

This is fascinating:

I think he's overstating it. The crucial phrase is 'suggests...a promising path...'. That's a very vague statement on which to hang the notion of 'AGI breakthrough'

Hyperbole on the internet?? I am shocked. Still, I don't think he is overstating it, given the rapid pace of advancement If nothing else, we are in for a bumpy ride on the way to the Singularity. Be nice to your Alexa devices.

Turns Out That Extremely Impressive Sora Demo... Wasn’t Exactly Made With Sora

A viral two-minute short titled "Air Head," created in part by using OpenAI's video-generating Sora tool, required a good bit human editing.
