The creator of ChatGPT, OpenAI, made their AI-generated video tool, Sora, available to all of its paying users (ChatGPT Pro and Plus users) on Monday.
The significance of it OpenAI is not the only company to develop an AI tool that can generate video in response to spoken commands, but like ChatGPT, Sora will make the technology available to millions of users.
According to the company, that might spark a tsunami of innovation. As many in the professional video industry contend, it may also infringe upon the rights of other producers.
In summary, OpenAI’s February beta release of Sora sparked both enthusiasm and trepidation.

The business then stated that before releasing it to the general public, it will red-team with security specialists and conduct extensive testing with creatives.
“We don’t want the world to just be text,” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who made the statement live on Monday.
Altman went on to say, “[Video] is important to our culture.”
According to a statement from the firm, the most recent version of Sora is “significantly faster” than the one it showcased and will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users as a stand-alone application.
Videos up to 20 seconds in length can be produced using it.

The tool, according to representatives of OpenAI’s Sora team, is “not about generating feature-length movies” but rather a means of testing out novel concepts.
OpenAI acknowledges that Sora still has a lot of shortcomings. In a blog post, the business said that “it frequently generates unrealistic physics and struggles with complex actions over long durations.”
Between the lines: The latest version of Sora has a few additional features, such as a timeline editor that allows users to add new prompts at particular points in a movie and the option to drop photos in as prompts.
Putting Sora in so many hands could lead to issues, according to OpenAI, which admits that it “has a target on its back.”
According to Altman, “but we also want to balance that with creative expression.” The company’s goal is to stop unauthorized usage of the technology.

Altman stated that while OpenAI’s moderation will be “starting a little conservative,” if it “doesn’t quite get it right, just give us that feedback.”
Uploading pictures of people will be “limited at launch,” according to OpenAI’s blog post.
Availability: Due to strict EU privacy regulations, Sora will be accessible worldwide, with the exception of Europe and the United Kingdom for the time being.
