Well, it was only a matter of time. OpenAI shook the world when it first unveiled Sora, a video generation platform that created some extremely impressive and scary video clips. As if that wasn’t worrying enough, we just got the news that OpenAI is showing off Sora to Hollywood film studios and directors.
Let’s not mince words, at this point, we all know the fears surrounding artificial intelligence. With the unveiling of Sora, we all saw the potential implications for the film industry. Well, Sora is set to launch to the public sometime this year, so that reality is not far off.
However, OpenAI has been showing off Sora to Hollywood directors
This is a bit of scary news, as we all know that AI will start attacking lower-level jobs and indie creators before hitting industry-level jobs. However, it appears that OpenAI wants to go right to the top. A new report from Bloomberg states that the company has been showing off Sora to Hollywood directors. It previewed Sora to a list of unnamed directors and film studios.
This is something that further stokes fears of AI eliminating jobs. With the ability to create near-perfect videos, we can already see companies ditching trained professionals and equipment for AI models.
At this point, we don’t know who OpenAI contacted or whether or not we will see AI technology in the latest and greatest blockbusters. Are we going to be seeing fully AI-generated movies anytime soon? Not likely. However, we may start seeing a few AI-generated elements in movies within the next couple of years.
Maybe there is an AI-generated panning shot of a mountain or a shot of the sky above World War II-era Germany. Companies may invest in AI to help alleviate annoying, tedious, and expensive shots first and foremost.
However, we also can’t rule out certain directors who are vehemently against AI. These are the kinds of directors who use good old-fashioned practical effects today. In any case, AI is coming to the big screens, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it
