Oh its going to be fantastic all right.
Fantastical chimera monster porn, at least for the beginning.

Looking forward to the day I can just copy paste the Silmarillion into a program and have it spit out a 20 hour long movie.
I was thinking exactly this but with the Bible. Not because I like the Bible but because I'd love to see how AI interprets one of the most important books in human history.
But yeha, the Silmarillion is basically a Bible from another universe.

Besides the few glitched ones I wouldn't be able to tell they were generated. I didn't expect it this quick.
At least we can remake the last three star wars movies with a decent story line.
If you read Japanese, it's really obvious the Tokyo one is AI; the signage largely makes no sense, has incorrect characters, has weird mixing of characters, etc.

I know people have been scared by new technology since technology, but I've never before fallen into that camp until now. I have to admit, this really does frighten me.
There with you. This is really worrying to me. This technology is advancing way faster than were adjusting to it. I haven't even gotten over how amazing GPT2.5 is but most people already seem to be taking it for granted. We didn't have anything even close to this just few years prior
Boo!

Would be good if openai could focus on things that are useful to humanity rather than trying to just do what we can do already, but with less jobs.
Why pursue any of the arts if they do not benefit humanity?
Because they look good enough for the web stories or RP I make
Ai generated images are not art.
Good luck keeping up that attitude as AI is advancing at this pace. You already can't tell them apart from human created images and and it'll just keep getting better. Stop kidding yourself.

Yes and no.
Currently you could say that ai is just efficiently guessing what we would want to see from pixel to pixel.
An artist may tune their style to be more similar to the art that they sold before in hopes of repeat buyers.
An AI looks at countless images and seeks out patterns which it refines. It mimics things and duplicates patterns.
An artists spends countless hours absorbed in the art of others to learn styles. Frequently they may mimic other works and iterate off of existing ideas.
Fan art, tracing, compositing - these are all things understood in the art community. If someone makes fan art of someone else's character does that invalidate their work as art?
AI invokes a reaction because it's getting "close." AI is receiving a lot of the same criticism that digital artists got for not using traditional mediums back in that technology's infancy.
Art is in the eye of the beholder. What defines art? Everything is relative. At present? AI is a tool. A bit unpolished and raw but so was CGI in the movie industry. Look how quickly that evolved.

We already knew how to farm before John Deere; should we have focused away from agricultural industrialization in order to preserve jobs?
looks at the immense harm that agricultural industrialization has had on the climate, the environment and society
Apparently yes.

The cat video is funny, the cat has 5 legs :D
Seeing the 5 legged cat was the moment I started to believe this stuff really was AI generated.
If this goes well, future video compression might take a massive leap. Imagine downloading 2 hours movies with just 20kb file size because it just a bunch of prompts under the hood.
This would be the most GPU intensive compression algorithm of all time :)
And the largest ever decoder since it'll need the whole model to work. I'm not particularly knowledgeable on AI but I'll assume this will occupy hundreds of gigabytes, correct me if I'm wrong there. In comparison, libdav1d, an av1 decoder, weighs less than 2 MB.
Sounds like you already saw Madame Web
If you randomize the seed it'll be a different render of the movie every time.
" but you haven't seen the ultimate limited edition fan version action cut of the directors cut"
I'm really impressed by the demo, but yes, let's see how well it works when it's made public.
People who don't think AI will take a lot of jobs may have to rethink...
The quality is really superior to what was shown with Lumiere. Even if this is cherry picking it seems miles above the competiton
Yeah we won't be needing proper raytracing with this kind of tech it's mind blowing

This is so much better than all text-to-video models currently available. I'm looking forward to read the paper but I'm afraid they won't say much about how they did this. Even if the examples are cherry picked, this is mind blowing!
I'm looking forward to reading the paper
You mean the 100 page technical report
Just get ChatGPT to summarize it. Big brain time.
Can I get sora to create a video from the summary?
Full circle.
Eventually, the internet will just be AI criticizing itself to create a better version of itself...
Hang on...
How do you know you're not AI?
Doo^doo doodoo doo^doo doodoo doo^doo doodoo
The demo looks pretty good, yes - but I won't believe it 'till I try it!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.”
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.
A couple of years ago, it was text-to-image generators like Midjourney that were at the forefront of models’ ability to turn words into images.
But recently, video has begun to improve at a remarkable pace: companies like Runway and Pika have shown impressive text-to-video models of their own, and Google’s Lumiere figures to be one of OpenAI’s primary competitors in this space, too.
It notes that the existing model might not accurately simulate the physics of a complex scene and may not properly interpret certain instances of cause and effect.
