I have always said that the digital transformation will lead to a new look at our history and culture. But I never thought that this view would be so fictional.

This is Sora by OpenAI: an AI model to create videos from text with the ability to generate realistic scenes and adhere to prompts for up to a minute.

Sora: Creating video from text

But perhaps we just need to get used to a new medium that, like cinema, takes us into a different world, where the tightrope walk between historical accuracy and contemporary fiction is precisely what makes it so appealing.

We need to research, understand, explain and utilise this new medium.

It is already clear that "AI" is a means of looking back. The future plays out in people's minds.

Attached: 1 image I grew up in Northern California, in the heart of the goldrush country. I can guarantee you, that when my ancestors were there back in 1848 there were no camera drones, helicopters or steadycams.... #openai #genai #sora https://openai.com/sora

It is simply fantastic to realize that in this example video there is no camera and no person visible in the reflecting sunglasses - because there is no seeing subject in this medium.

Here is another demo by Tim Brooks.

#Sora has object permanence - the paintings stay consistent before and after the water man walks in front.

It is interesting: what Sam Altman proudly peddles here also shows the limits of the technique (note the unlikely location of the eggs on a shelf and the absence of a spoon):

We have already experienced the lifelike AI voice imitation such as #ElevenLabs. Now the video generation #Sora (still as a silent film). Will we next be able to put a text in the person's mouth and they will speak lip-synchronised? And then chatGPT, which already has a voice front end, will become a convincing video assistant? How much longer will it take?

OpenAI's Sora is getting wilder.

It can also morph between two videos with different subjects and scenes.

And itโ€™s so funny how she switched her feet! Left become right one. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ
