OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, introduced “Sora,” a new AI model capable of turning text prompts into realistic videos. Once a user provides instructions on the style and subject matter of the clip, Sora can create videos. It can animate a still image in addition to generating videos from text inputs. This text-to-video approach was announced after the release of OpenAI’s well-received chatbot ChatGPT in late 2022.
Sora can create intricate scenes with numerous characters, specific motion types, precise backgrounds, and subject details. In addition to comprehending the user’s request in the prompt, the model also knows how these things actually exist in the real world. According to OpenAI, they are teaching AI to comprehend and recreate the physical world in motion, and to create models that assist humans in solving issues that call for real-world interaction.
The model’s profound command of language allows it to reliably decipher instructions and produce engrossing characters that vividly convey a range of emotions. Sora can create a video from an existing still image. Additionally, the model can be used to expand or add frames to an already-existing video. Sora, currently in development, is being evaluated by researchers, visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to identify potential risks and gather feedback to enhance its capabilities for creative professionals.
It may have trouble in properly simulating the physics of an intricate scene and might not be able to comprehend certain cases of cause and effect. Additionally, the model might confuse spatial cues in a prompt, such as left and right, and have trouble accurately describing actions that occur over time, such as tracking a particular camera trajectory.
It seems like Sora is an upcoming video-generating model developed by OpenAI. The company is taking precautionary measures to ensure its safety and effectiveness before making it available to the public. This includes working with domain experts to adversarially test the model, building tools to detect misleading content generated by Sora, and engaging with various stakeholders such as policymakers, educators, and artists to understand concerns and identify positive use cases.
It’s worth noting that Sora is not the first of its kind; other companies like Meta and Google have also developed similar text-to-video models such as Emu and Lumiere, respectively. These models utilize AI technology to generate and edit videos based on text prompts.
