Hands are a big give away.

@OutragedPufferfish February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

The grandma looks creepy.

@NilimaPradhan-us9se February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Should I choose Python as a subject? My friend is taking classes from Moonpreneur and says it’s a good career option. She also mentioned it’s easier compared to C++.

@jacobgalinski2948 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

that is as cool as is it terrifying

@tutacat February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

actually, the hair does not move in sora, not physically

@tutacat February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

not usedul when the fix obvious things like inconsistent spoonage. you have to look at a whole how things move and whether it is believable. you brain is naturally much smarter than just spoons dissappearing it has a model of the world and how things move that it compares against

@seasirenwestwood9275 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Imagine children growing up watching these ai generated videos thinking they're real. What would be the effect of that?

@Aghazahid-e9r February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

World of AI

@ronaldgomes8814 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

This is actually how we dream things aren’t perfect but real to you… omg😮

@TheEngineeringMonkey February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

The fact that none of these work on newer models is kind of terrifying.

@yunpiaocai February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Speaking of tools, have you heard about PaperGen? I stumbled upon it recently while looking for ways to streamline my writing. It's been a game-changer for organizing my thoughts and getting a blog written automatically for me. I'd be curious to hear if you've tried it out.

@ajflink February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

I am glad that at least it seems like OpenAI is acknowledging how its technology can be misused, especially for political purposes which concerns me the most.

I am 100% fine with the OpenAI tools as long as the source of its data is from open source and public domain things. Also, there should be serious legal consequences for using generative AI for immoral and illicit purposes like copyright/trademark infringement (i.e., anything generated from it cannot come from copyrighted or trademarked works or published works without explicit permission) and defamation (i.e. the AI cannot use or reference real people, especially living or recently deceased). Aside from those issues, I can see this as a helpful creative aid for brainstorming or helping with parts of projects that can be safely automated.

I've made programs for my job that are essentially very close to being coded like an AI that has helped others at my job help automate and eliminating tedious tasks. I'd say that AI tools like this will help people to be even more creative and be able to work on creative projects more efficiently. However, at the end of the day, AI is still made by humans and it will never be perfect. It will always be a knockoff mimicry of perfection.

First, if you think you're going to be able to spot AI videos 2 years from now, you're not. Soon there will be no way to tell at all.

Second, your copyrighted material is 100% fair game for AI training as much as it's fair game for me to read an article and start using styles and content clues as to how I want to write my next article. Copyright protects against plagiarism, not training.

@lillyarts2 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

As an artist, i can easily tell when a picture or video is ai easily. Like the video where tiana is letting her hair down, thats ai.

@nonyun8784 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Is her voice AI

@suminshizzles6951 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

These physics issues will be overcome in due time. I think a lot of channels here on youtube are run with AI generated voices. I tend to spot them quick

@nancyl7989 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

How will this technology affect evidence? Everyone should be worried about this. Once the technology is perfected, that means anyone could be blamed for doing something they did not?

@jimbarrofficial February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

But what about the countless videos with real footage and a very clearly AI voiceover.. I've seen rock and roll documentaries like this. A bunch of strung together non sequitur clips with a monotone voice in the background, probably generated by Eleven Labs, accompanied by some copyright free music in the background. I think all of these should be tagged as AI driven, so users can make a decision as to whether or not to watch them.

@SoraFan23 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

You have to watch VERY carefully to detect animation errors in this AI.

@patcoston February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

5:45 Amazing how some smart people can't pronounce etcetera properly.

@lyhuynh2320 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

I am an English learner and I find what the narrator says at 6m33s and 6m36s kinda difficult to understand. Could anybody please explain it to me?

@novanae7799 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

i have caught them just on the voice commentators.

@novanae7799 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

mono tone, typos its easy

@Wild-Instinct February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Hopefully TikTok will be shut down until then before people go crazy on Sora's use for short videos, abusing AI tools for misinformation, copyrights, violence, sex, etc..

@MT________ February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

AI Development ist actually beyond what you can see here. Sora ist just a certain development step that OpenAI was willing to share with us.

@new-bp6ix February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Artists are good at seeing this

Honestly, even artists see things that ordinary people do not see it

@maxwellvindman7212 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

0:42 you can really tell the difference. even in older pixar movies they were filled with tiny details the ai doesn't do convincingly

@maxwellvindman7212 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

honestly these all don't look very realistic. like why were there eggs on the shelf in the grandma video? very strange inconsistencies in some of these vids.

@considerthebirds February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Until ai watches this video and corrects it all

@barbi111 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Nobody is curious about AI content. Big tech will realize this and hand-made products and art will be flourishing. Thanks to these unethical companies.

@Ftiger8229 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

As long as WSJ is in business, there will be misinformation.

@pixieanna1 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

It just so crazy to see them gone, when they were there from day 1 of my introduction to anime.

@Kie-7077 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

"But when it comes to actual film making, experts say it will be a long time before text-to-video threatens medium."
1: Clip length one minute – this is a arbitrary restriction which will be gone quickly as the hardware develops or if you pay more.
2: AI's hallucinate: yes but this is nuanced and can likely be tweaked by a creator for an individual video.
3: Is that it? AI video has just begun and the pace of change is astounding.

How do you know that YOU are not AI? Start looking for glitches!

@KyrreEleison February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Yeah so now we're getting AI tools that detect AI works. Crazy

@GaryAllen-dc3ik February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

For now. It's early.

@Martin-hd2tr February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Yeah, you are severely underestimating how stupid and gullible people are. It's too late guys. People WILL believe that AI generated videos are real and they WILL also believe that real videos are AI generated. And this is only getting worse as AI is getting better and simultaneously our ability to tell what's real and what isn't is getting worse

@CK-xk8ut February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

This is still the beginnig of this. In some years this will be nearly perfect AI generated videos and no one can tell that it is.

@Rubicon1985 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

I really dislike the use of the word "democratising". As though artists are gatekeepers preventing others from being creative. It's anything but democratising because companies have stolen and fed artists work into an algorithm to rip them off and to profit themselves with no form of compensation for those artists. But it will all be fine we are told by the owners of these companies. It's like leaving an arsonist in your house with a can of fuel and some matches and them telling you it'll be fine. This is what living in a dystopia looks like – there is honestly no way back from this hellscape.

@thelostcosmonaut5555 February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

I remember the Battlestar Galactica episode where one of the characters were framed via a video created with technology similar to AI. Creepy.

@adempc February 16, 2025 - 6:43 am

Not the wsj's best piece. Almost entirely useless, not interesting, just doesn't understand the trajectory of this tech, or ignores it.
