Open AI has been working on something insane.
Sora is their new AI video generator that generates video up to 1 minute in length. It can also add to an existing video, generating the content that comes afterwards.
This is at the same time that Sam Altman is expressing caution over the future of AI.
But check out Sora (Text to Video):

Prompt: A stylish woman walks down a Tokyo street filled with warm glowing neon and animated city signage. She wears a black leather jacket, a long red dress, and black boots, and carries a black purse. She wears sunglasses and red lipstick. She walks confidently and casually. The street is damp and reflective, creating a mirror effect of the colorful lights. Many pedestrians walk about.
Insane, right?
And check out the unique colouring in this dog video.
Prompt: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in Burano Italy. An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor. Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings.

I’m sure this will ONLY be available to PRO subscribers, and they could charge even more just for this tier. Expect this to be a moneymaker once all the safety issues are resolved.
(And speaking of safety, with the recent deepfake Taylor Swift video, and seniors getting hoodwinked by deekfakes of Justin Trudeau announcing a “new” program for Canadians to earn $1000 per day, the issues with AI are just starting.
Honestly, I’m not sure how this will be resolved, but it sure is exciting.
