I vividly recall the exhilaration of being among the first to explore the uncharted territories of OpenAI's groundbreaking creations. From the initial launch of DALL·E to the awe-inspiring sequel, DALL·E 2, each unveiling was a thrilling journey into the realm of artificial intelligence. I can still feel the rush of excitement as I eagerly stayed up all night, fuelled by the sheer possibility and creativity that these technologies promised.

Fast forward to today, and the anticipation only grows as we stand on the brink of yet another leap forward. OpenAI Sora looms on the horizon, a beacon of innovation in the realm of video creation. Yet, as we eagerly await its arrival, we're confronted with profound questions about its implications for society. Below you can see a short film that was made entirely with Sora (I know, it's hard to believe that none of this footage is actually "real").
The allure of Sora's capabilities is undeniable. With the ability to transform text into lifelike videos, it holds the promise of revolutionizing how we communicate, entertain, and inform. The potential applications are endless, from enhancing storytelling to revolutionizing marketing and education.
But amidst the excitement lies a sobering reality. The power of Sora to generate highly convincing fake videos raises serious ethical concerns. In a world already grappling with misinformation and deepfakes, the prospect of even more convincing fabrications is cause for alarm.
In this context, I find myself relieved that Sora is not openly accessible at this time. The fact that one cannot even sign up for a waitlist speaks to the recognition of the moral questions at hand. It's a reminder that with great power comes great responsibility, and that the deployment of such technology requires careful consideration and safeguards.
As we eagerly await the arrival of Sora, we must confront these ethical dilemmas head-on. The future of AI-driven video creation hangs in the balance, poised to either revolutionize our world or usher in a new era of deception and manipulation. The choice is ours to make, and the stakes have never been higher.
