In this riveting episode, AI Explained delves into OpenAI's latest creation, Sora, a video generator that's causing quite a stir among paying users. Sora offers varying resolutions and durations based on subscription tiers, but here's the kicker - it operates under a whole new set of physics rules. It's like trying to make a cup of tea with a lawnmower! The team behind Sora seems to want us to focus on this flashy release rather than addressing some past broken promises. It's like putting a shiny new spoiler on a car that can't even start!
While Sora is available globally, the EU and UK are left out in the cold, requiring a Chachi BT subscription to get in on the action. The different subscription tiers offer credits for video generations, but here's the catch - these credits don't roll over each month. It's like buying a bucket of KFC chicken and being told you can only have one piece a day! The interface of Sora is as sleek as a freshly waxed sports car, with features like storyboard creation that make you feel like a Hollywood director. But let's not forget, Sora's video generation can sometimes go off the rails, defying the laws of physics like a rocket-powered shopping cart.
OpenAI's ambitions for Sora to reach AGI capabilities seem like a distant dream, with the connection between a video generator and achieving AGI about as clear as mud. The data sources remain shrouded in mystery, with vague mentions of industry-standard machine learning datasets. The potential for Sora to be misused for ads and commercial purposes raises eyebrows, especially with talks of removing provisions that safeguard against such scenarios. And let's not overlook OpenAI's recent foray into military tech collaboration, sparking concerns among employees and external critics alike. It's like strapping a jet engine to a lawnmower - things are bound to get a bit hairy!
