You must check out this particular OpenAI gen AI video from today’s announcement of their new coming-soon AI service ‘Sora’.

And here I discuss what it means and study the video for fascinating residual defects.

It’s a mesmerizing video.

Incredible

It’s a mesmerizing video of a stroll through cherry blossoms and light snow.

Along a Tokyo street.

I want to go there some day in spring.

I hope there is a place just like this.

And there is very little evidence of temporal hallucination. But there is some.

Threat?

Of course it means that human-made video is under further threat.

I think we will always have human-made video because consumers will choose video marketed as ‘Made by Humans’.

But we’ll have much more custom video this way. Documentary and fictional.

And hybrid real / AI augmented. There will remain major creativity in purely AI generated video as well through story and prompt design. And visual design itself including custom prompt context image and video for starting points, much of it real.
