OpenAI Unveils “Sora” – Program That Creates Hyper-Realistic Videos From Text Prompts

As explained on the company’s website:

Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt.

Sora is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background. The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world.

The model has a deep understanding of language, enabling it to accurately interpret prompts and generate compelling characters that express vibrant emotions. Sora can also create multiple shots within a single generated video that accurately persist characters and visual style.

The company says of Sora

However, OpenAI has admitted to some current shortfalls, such as sometimes being unable to “understand specific instances of cause and effect,” or may get confused with basic commands and spatial awareness, and “may struggle with precise descriptions of events that take place over time.”

Nevertheless what Sora is able to generate on it own at the moment is quite detailed, and save for some occasional blurriness and choppy framerate, the final product could very easily trick the untrained and blasé eye.

Marques Brownlee, one of the largest tech YouTubers, put out a video highlighting what Sora can do, and shared his fears of a dystopian future that is now. A number of people in the comments also shared their concerns, especially video editors and photographers.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

The amount of deceit and treachery here is unreal (no pun intended). The amount of slander this can be used for will be detrimental. Truth be told though, as a “conspiracy theorist,” I contend that AI has been used for a long time in mainstream media, Hollywood, the Pentagon, etc.

[4] Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. [5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. [6] Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 9:4-6

The deception and propaganda is now getting its latest cycle of steroids and PEDs, for the latest election and new wars the handlers want to expand.

[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: [12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
