This video was generated entirely by AI.

It was generated by OpenAI’s new text-to-video model called Sora. It’s currently only being tested by a small group of experts and creators.

I don’t know how other’s feel about this, but I find this kinda terrifying. A lot of the videos that they’ve shown off so far are already very convincing, and I can already imagine the kind of misinformation that will be created with this tool. Even if OpenAI can keep the lid on it with Sora, the fact that they have pulled something like this off probably means we’ll see others turning up soon. I wouldn’t be shocked to see an open sourced equivalent for this, like Stable Diffusion.

I know we can’t put the genie back in the bottle now, but I do really worry about the future when the tech is getting this good this quick. This feels like the end of the information age, because we might be soon be unable to tell what info is real and what is fake.
