I don’t buy that OpenAI abruptly decided to shutdown Sora because they have something better coming soon, but I have to guesses as to why:

  • They found out it’s being used for something really bad and they might be held liable

  • They’re trying to get ahead of growing anti-AI backlash and are trying to present themselves as less “sloppy” since a lot more of the backlash is targeted at generated images and video.

  • The AI bubble is bursting and video generation is one of the more expensive parts of their business and they’re trying to cut costs.

    I think the AI's are trying to ration the cost of processing images/videos, when I experimented with Copilot if I tried to get it to do basic image work it often seemed to deliberately not put in the effort (and make up excuses for not doing so), and when asked for info about myself even with access to my LinkedIn couldn't accurately identify the year of the car I drive even though there's a picture of it on my timeline, it was clearly ignoring the image (which is an instant clue to when it was made, as the appearance of the front end trim is different between Mk7 and Mk8 VW Golf)
