Creating films and videos using artificial intelligence is a great thing that many film enthusiasts around the world enjoy. Thanks to this, we can quickly visualize what we need, and if it really suits us, we can even create entire materials based on it.
One of such tools is Sora from OpenAI, thanks to which our texts can become, in a sense, reality. It immediately surprised many due to its capabilities and the quality of the clips generated in this way.
All this was tempting, but it was reserved only for a certain group of people until today. This model has officially been made available for global use. It’s not perfect, though, because there are quite big catches here.
Open AI provides the Sora model
OpenAI has officially started distributing its generation model Sora video for users around the world. Until now, only scientists and specific research units that dealt with artificial intelligence research and cooperated with the company could have access to this tool.
Very interestingly, the released version is basically an improved model of what scientists have been working on so far. First of all, it is faster and more accurate, or at least that’s what the company representatives claim.
Making Sora available around the world does not mean that everyone has access to it right away. First of all, this is an option that only owners of ChatGPT Plus or Chat GPT Pro worth over $200 per month have. This means that it is a paid option and there are no exceptions.
If the price doesn’t discourage someone, the fact that Sora is not for everyone certainly will. The tool’s website states that it is unavailable to users from the European Economic Area, Great Britain and Switzerland.
Sora is not for everyone
Those who have access to the tool will be able to create up to 20-second materials in 1080p resolution (horizontal or vertical). Interestingly, the prompt for our video can be text or another recording, which is a great option in itself.
There is a catch to all this. This 1080p is reserved for the ChatGPT Pro option. Payers of the Plus variant can count on video in 480p or 720p resolution. In the latter variant, the number of materials available to generate is smaller.
Additionally, Sora has restrictions in place to protect against the creation of deepfakes, especially those with a sexual theme. Additionally, each clip is to have metadata embedded in it to identify where it comes from.
So can we expect Sora to conquer the market and generative videos to become the standard in social media? We will probably find out about it in the coming weeks. However, if the Open AI tool breaks into the mainstream, we will witness a real craze for this segment of artificial intelligence.
The only question remains: are we ready for it? After all, it doesn’t necessarily mean anything good.
