America’s top film and TV mogul Tyler Perry has decided to put a hold on his $880 million studio expansion amidst a growing concern over Artificial Intelligence (AI).
OpenAI launched a new AI tool dubbed Sora a few days ago and in this short while, the AI bot has caused a massive buzz. Sora AI is a revolutionary tool that can create videos from textual descriptions. The ability of the AI model to comprehend precise textual descriptions and transform them into quality video clips makes it very distinct from other existing Large Language Models (LLMs).
Perry was in the middle of adding 12 sound stages to his Atlanta studio complex but decided against it after considering Sora. He finds the touted capabilities of the new LLM rather “shocking.” From his observations, the celebrity believes that “a lot of jobs” in the film industry will be lost to AI in no time.
Speaking in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Perry announced that he had “gotten word over the last year or so that this was coming, but I had no idea until I saw recently the demonstrations of what it’s able to do. It’s shocking to me.”
Sora and all of its features indicate that OpenAI is keen on pushing the limit of what AI is capable of. Upon its demo launch a while ago, it was made accessible to certain researchers and video creators. Many were surprised by the ability of the AI model to produce realistic footage a minute long from simple text prompts.
For Perry who is well known for his Madea Series, this means that he may no longer have to visit long-distance locations to shoot different scenes for his movies. He would only be required to sit with a computer and create the entire set with just a few clicks. OpenAI Sora is about to change the game in AI video generation judging by its advanced capabilities that tore the internet in the past week.
While this looks like an advancement in the AI ecosystem, there are also fears about the geometric growth rate of the industry. Certain entities perceive this growth as a threat and are beginning to get worried about human security and privacy.
