Get ready for the next revolution in AI-powered content creation. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT and DALL-E, which revealed Sora last month, the tool that turns your written descriptions into realistic videos, and which is currently only in the hands of a few lucky testers, could be available to everyone within months.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI’s CTO Mira Murati said that they are aiming to launch Sora to the public by end of 2024 and that it could even happen within “a few months”.
When asked about how this tool might affect the jobs of creators, Murati said that their aim is to serve this tool as a support to creators in their work instead of replacing them.
You know, the way that I see it is this is a tool for extending creativity and we want people in the film industry, creators everywhere, to be a part of informing how we develop it further and also how we deploy it. And also, you know, what are the economics around using this model when people are contributing data and such
For now, Sora’s videos are silent, but OpenAI hints that audio capabilities might be on the way. And like DALL-E, you’ll likely have to pay for the privilege of using this incredible tool.
