TECH Sora(AI) New Text to Video AI

On the one hand, it's a really good idea. Imagine being able to make your own movies from a desktop, with complete scripts or even fragments. You'd never have to complain about "Hollyweird" again. Content perfectly tailored to your needs and interests. Watch them, trade them, maybe even make a cottage industry selling your own product.

But then, it would leave a LOT of people out of work if they're watching their own movies. The entertainment industry is a lot of why California's income is around the eighth largest economy on Earth.

It, just like any other tool, will be used for good things and bad. I think it's awesome but at the same time scary. Going to get really hard to tell what on the news is legitimate when bad actors start using it for disinformation
Yup ... and we are still in the "Kitty Hawk" phase of this new tech. As the YouTube video shows in a comparison from a video a year ago to this new tech there have already been huge leaps in capability. Imagine a few years from now.

AI still can't handle human hands! Her left thumb in the first 25 seconds or so must be 6 inches long! It also appears her arms get longer, before her body elongated enough to put them back in proportion! And the closeup of her face is messed up, too...

For some of what this will be used for, viewers won't be looking at "hands".

Again ... this is akin to the Wright Flyer in 1903. Less than 50 years after we had jet flight and were breaking the sound barrier ... not long after we were in space. Don't look so much at the flaws now as extrapolate where this is going. In one year this tech has made amazing progress. We are at the point of not being able to tell what is real and what isn't .... that line will blurr more and more.

Absolutely! But for now, there are still "tells" for the aware...

Neither here nor there.

YouTube sent out a notice a week or so ago to content creators that their channels will be removed for using certain types of AI in their videos. They didn't go into detail as to which kind of AI, just a blanket statement.

Sounds like business as usual at Google. We have rules, and we expect you to follow them. But don't expect us to tell you what they ARE.

I would presume misinformation, defamation, and fraud. But perhaps I'm being presumptuous.

The science fiction magazines have been having trouble with AI generated stories being submitted. Perhaps Google doesn't want to monetize videos created by the use of simple text prompts.

Google doesn't want to monetize anything, ever. They find as many excuses as possible to not. They still do, just to keep hope alive that content creators might actually be able to get paid for their work, but for the most part, it's only the big channels that reliably pull cash for Google that are allowed to see some of that for themselves.

I listen to Amazon Audible books. I noticed a recent boom of books being read by a computer generated voice. I have not listened to any yet but when I finish what I am listening to I will check some of them out.
