It was so much more hyped than that. They made it sound like Hollywood was in big trouble.
It is going to have the same problems as Midjourney. You just don't have that much control of the scene. The process is to make thousands of random variations and cherry pick the good stuff because you can't do anything else.
These are hand selected from thousands of prompts. The person who doesn't use these tools thinks that you prompt the video like you are Scorsese directing a film. That is exactly what AI video is not.
More like you write a prompt and then try try try to get something that vaguely does what you wanted it to do. Most of the time though it doesn't even get close. The best video is usually stuff you didn't even intend. It is great for demo reals but that is about it.
They already made such a big deal about Sora 1 for months before it came out then what have you seen from it after it actually released? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Honestly, Midjourney blows away what I seen in this video as far as being pretty but Midjourney video is the same problem. Your imagination is filling in all these AI video features that don't exist.
I have used Sora many times! If you need to see a Scorcese movie as output in order to be impressed then you will be incredibly disappointed.
> It is great for demo reals but that is about it.
This is what is amazing! Imagine you go back to 2020 and say, “Hey I’ve got this website where you can type and it’ll return back a little computer generated video that looks pretty real.”
The only thing lamer than people talking about how unimpressive AI is are the people talking about AI’s environmental impact.
No, the average person just doesn't have a creative bone in their body.
They will be impressed when they get Super Hero movie #1899 but this time by AI , woo hoo!
I am creative and have released music with a large listenership. The other person in my original comment is a designer by trade.
Anything else dismissive you’d like to say or do you enjoy leaving snarky comments?
You obviously have never actually tried to make anything in AI video.
It is a parlor trick.Maybe this is a big advance but the current state of AI video is a joke.
It is only impressive if you don't actually make anything. It is impressive in a marketing release that is quickly forgot about.
Will Smith eating spaghetti is the dumbest most uncreative thing. You are impressed by it because it is a meme. It is stupid.
I didn't claim to have made anything with AI video. I'm just commenting on how rapidly things appear to be improving from an external viewpoint. We used to give AI crap for failing to generate an appropriate number of fingers on still imagery. Now we're watching multiple minutes of video to find handfuls of discontinuities. The goalposts have shifted pretty far in an exceptionally short amount of time.
I have no idea why you're so intent on coming across bitter about a fledgling technology. A few years ago this demo video would've been indistinguishable from magic. It will continue to improve.
It is not even just the errors. These video models are really impressive as long as you don't actually have something in your head you want to make. Then the laughable limitations are on full display.
I will believe it when I see because Sora 1 is probably the most disappointing technology given what I thought it was going to be that I can even think of. I waited forever for it and then barely used it because it sucks.
To me, it really depends if the post is a well reasoned criticism with something unique to add to the conversation or the standard, completely pointless, anti-AI rant that I have already read a 1000 times.
I am an amateur programmer and tried to port a python 2.7 library to python 3 with GPT5 a few weeks ago.
After a few tries, I realized both myself and the model missed that a large part of the library is based on another library that was never ported to 3 either.
That doesn't stop GPT5 from trying to write the code as best it can with a library that doesn't exist for python 3.
That is the part we have made absolutely no progress on.
Of course, it can do a much better react crud app than in Sept 2023.
In one sense, LLMs are so amazing and impressive and quite fugazi in another sense.
It is so outrageous to value Tiktok USA at $14 billion.
Forget Meta's market cap, does anyone think Zuckerberg wouldn't have paid 20 billion for Tiktok USA ?
Just so corrupt and to even call it a sweetheart deal is outrageous.
I thought it should just be banned in the US. The idea we are basically strong arming a whole nation and stealing a company at a bullshit valuation is completely insane.
The problem with operating this way is it's very easy for the same gun to be used against you when political winds inevitably change. In Bangalore famously, one administration's politicians had bought up all farmland and then announced the new airport location in that area. When they lost the election, the next administration moved the airport after the project had already started to a different inferior location dozens of kilometers away where it stands today mainly to impose losses on their political opponents. This is also why connectivity to the airport is poor to this day.
The dot com bubble was a financial bubble.
We are in something more like an AI mass delusion.
