The announcement today of Sora by OpenAI raises a lot of questions, but also raises the bar for generative AI video creativity far beyond that currently offered by existing competitors. In the normal world of video production, stock footage and online content creation, jobs are now on the line like never before, but which ones exactly? Are you in the firing line? Here I will give you my honest opinion of OpenAI’s new technology and at the same time the cold hard facts about Sora and what it could do, creatively and economically. Depending on who you listen to AI is either the end of the world or a big opportunity that creates more jobs than it takes away. I say this – Sora has the potential to do both extreme wrong, extreme good and everything in-between. The first thing to realise is that “sora” means sky in Japanese. It is literally a clear blue sky – anything you dream of can be envisioned with it. Sora is also an important step on the way to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and AI’s understanding of the real world, physical objects, physics itself. It is a world simulator not just a two dimensional moving-image generation tool. What’s shocking is the sheer rate of progress towards AGI – it is extreme and...
