OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, has shaken the tech world once more by unveiling Sora, its latest AI powerhouse. Sora is a groundbreaking text-to-video model that has left the industry in awe.
Sora boasts the ability to produce videos up to a minute long, depicting everything from snowy Tokyo landscapes to colossal wooly mammoths and intricate Sci-Fi movie trailers, all from simple text prompts.
This breathtaking capability has piqued the curiosity of tech enthusiasts, but also drawn concerns about potential job displacement and misuses of the technology, particularly in the context of misinformation and hateful content dissemination.
In response to these worries, OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, has reassured the public of its commitment to safety. They have outlined several safeguards including a rigorous red teaming process, a text classifier to reject inappropriate prompts, and robust image classifiers to ensure compliance with usage policies.
How To Try OpenAI Sora Right Now
Despite the excitement generated by Sora’s video demonstrations, access to the platform is currently restricted to a select group of creatives and testers. OpenAI has not disclosed a timeline for a broader release, so for now, enthusiasts outside this cohort must exercise patience.
However, there is still a glimmer of hope. Directly reaching out to Sam Altman, who has been using Sora to create videos per internet requests, might just land the chance to put Sora through its paces.
OpenAI has been transparent about Sora’s current limitations, such as its struggles in accurately simulating complex physics, understanding cause and effect, and interpreting spatial details. Nevertheless, they remain committed to continuous improvement.
