Yesterday, OpenAI – the creator of ChatGPT – announced Sora, and it took the internet by storm. Sora is the firm’s new AI model aimed at generating videos from text prompts.
And while there’s a lot of excitement, there are just as many unanswered questions, so let’s dive into what Sora is and what we know so far.If ChatGPT is OpenAI’s chat-based model, Sora is the firm’s “AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions.” There have already been plenty of examples. For instance, MrBeast replied to Sam Altman’s introductory tweet, asking him to create a video of a “monkey playing chess in a park.”At a glance, the video looks remarkably well done in high resolution with stunning visuals and no apparent defects. Upon closer inspection, you can see that the chessboard is not proportionate to the size of the pieces, but beyond that, which we assume is easily fixable with additional prompts, the video looks well-made.
