It seems that OpenAI's secrets are struggling to stay under wraps… A significant piece of news has shaken the AI community: OpenAI's video generation model, Sora, has been exposed by a group of disgruntled artists known as "Sora PR Puppets." This isn't just a minor leak that can be patched up!
Sora is an AI system capable of creating incredibly realistic 10-second videos (for now) in 1080p from simple text descriptions. The situation became contentious when these artists, who were initially selected as beta testers, felt frustrated by the limited compensation and strict control regarding their experiences with Sora, as each generated video required OpenAI's approval before public sharing.
In response, these artists created a frontend on Hugging Face that allowed anyone to generate videos using Sora, leading OpenAI to cut off access just three hours later. This incident underscores the ongoing debate in the AI world about balancing rapid technological development with fair treatment of creatives contributing to these advancements.
