Sora AI: A Game Changer for AI-Generated Videos


2 min read  • 

At this point, we all know how powerful AI is: we can use it to write essays, generate images, make music, and do other tasks that could better ease our lives. However, there has always been one area that AI has had trouble with: Video Generation. I'm sure we've all seen those meme-y, janky AI videos that obviously seem fake and AI generated. The frames are not usually consistent, the subject is not properly rendered and not always in focus, and the video itself is often rudimentarily made. However, this is all changing with the new artificial intelligence model made by OpenAI: Sora AI.

What is Sora AI?

Sora, an AI model made by the makers of our beloved ChatGPT— OpenAI, is capable of generating hyper-realistic videos using quality never seen before by any other AI. As I stated previously, past attempts at AI video generation have not been fruitful and serve to only entertain, nothing more. With Sora, all of this changes, producing footage that may as well have genuinely been shot in real life. Have a look at the following video:


Notice the wooly mammoths gracefully traversing the snow with movie-perfect cinematic lighting, beautiful shadows, and realistic scenery. Notice any problems? Well, woolly mammoths have been extinct since 10,000 years ago, well before any cameras were invented, meaning that this was never shot— nor did this exact scenario ever happen. This was purely AI generated by Sora AI! Sora has been trained to understand the physics and reality of our world, meaning it is capable of not only these high quality videos, but also much more with the seemingly endless creativity on planet Earth.

Currently, as of March 12, 2024, Sora is not available to the general public and is private to OpenAI.

What does this mean for video-based industries?

With this new revolution in AI, it is becoming increasingly harder to tell what is real and what is AI generated. While Sora may have some weaknesses in video generation, it only took a little over an year after low-level Chat GPT released for OpenAI come up with something so revolutionizing. It would most certainly take less time to patch up what needs fixing and come up with more revolutionary products in this age of exponential technological growth. 

As for the future of video-based industries such as content creation, cinema, advertisement agencies, and the like, success is bound to get increasingly competitive. In the past, only those who were talented in the art of video-making and had the dedication to continue that were successful; now, with Sora soon to be available to the common person, anyone would be able to easily generate videos to rival that of talented and successful content creators. This industry is definitely bound to change in the coming years with this new technology, opening new avenues for jobs while replacing old ones, and with enough creativity and ingenuity, Sora and other soon-to-come technologies will inevitably alter the power technology for the years to come.

A Dive into the Heart of AI Ethics: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility

2-3 min read  •  Since the beginning of 2023, AI has been taking the world by storm, from running models such as ChatGPT—the main attraction of Artificial Intelligence's power—to even pioneering autonomous vehicles.  However, as awe-inspiring as these advancements in our technology may seem,  it is important to note the ethical considerations that come with it.  The Main Concern  One of the most concerning faucets of Artificial Intelligence ethics is the bias within these AI models. AI systems are trained on sets of data, and these systems go through this data and make connections as to what is "right" and what is "wrong."  Think about it—if a developing baby was taught that a certain minority is "bad" and "ugly," then the child will live their whole life having a stereotype against that minority.  The same principle applies to AI models as well, especially given that they are built to mimic how us humans learn and develop connections.

  2 min read  •  AI can do many things: generate code, make music, write essays, make videos, but never has it ever gone as far as to have the potential to singlehandedly replace people's jobs; the outputs by the AI are often rudimentary and useless. However, Devin AI is here to completely revolutionize the software engineering market, being able to generate code, communicate effectively with us humans, do external research, pull API's from online, traverse GitHub, and so much more. In other words, this AI is capable of replacing a job that ideally pays upwards of $100,000 per year, or even over $200,000 for the more experienced. What is Devin AI, and what is it capable of? Devin AI, created by a small AI company named Cognition, is one of the first AI's to take over the job of a software engineer, being able to code, troubleshoot, solve problems, autonomously access the internet and do its own research as a human would, and so much more. The user interface shows the Devin

A Dive into Supervised Learning for Neural Networks: How do AI Models Learn?

Image
4-5 min read  •  At this point in our lives, almost everyone knows how powerful AI has become. Not even 2 or 3 years ago, we couldn't even fathom the idea of a piece of technology being able to creatively and originally generate even a few lines of text, let alone a full essay. Now, such power among AI models is commonplace and ceases to impress us.  However, no one bothers to think about how these AI models work in the first place. How are they so powerful? What logical mechanics cause Artificial Intelligence to come to life and provide us with accurate responses to never-before-seen inputs?  In this post, I will be discussing the logical intricacies of neural networks, the pioneer of AI's seemingly endless power, and how that is being used today to power the AI revolution. Note that this post discusses supervised learning , a process where the AI is trained on labeled datasets. This means that the AI learns from the answers that we provide to generate its own answers instead
