San Francisco — The company that created ChatGPT On Thursday he presented his next jump to the artificial intelligence generative: a tool that instantly creates short videos in response to written commands.
Sora, OpenAI's new text-based video generator, is not the first of its kind. GoogleMeta and Runway ML are other companies that have presented similar technologies.
But the high quality of the videos shown by OpenAI — some of them created after its CEO, Sam Altman, asked social media users to submit ideas for written scripts — astonished observers and also raised fears about its capabilities. ethical and social implications.
An independent photographer based in N.H. suggested in X “a cooking session led by an influencer grandmother who teaches how to prepare homemade gnocchi in a rustic rural Tuscan kitchen with cinematic lighting”. Altman responded shortly after with a realistic video depicting what the tip described.
The tool is not yet publicly available, and OpenAI has revealed little information about how it was created. The company, which has been sued by some writers and The New York Times for using copyrighted works to train ChatGPT, has also not revealed what images and video sources were used to train Sora. (OpenAI pays an undisclosed fee to The Associated Press to license its text news archive.)
San Francisco-based OpenAI said on its blog that it is collaborating with artists, policymakers and other professionals before making the new tool public.
“We are working with 'red teams' – experts in areas such as misinformation, hate content and prejudice – who will test the model,” the company explained. “We are also building tools to help detect misleading content, such as a classifier that can indicate when a video has been generated by Sora.”
