Episode notes
Sora's Imperfect Reality
- OpenAI's Sora generates videos from text prompts, but imperfections break the illusion of reality.
- These flaws, like distorted body parts and merging figures, reveal underlying AI limitations.
Air Head's Inconsistent Balloon
- In the short film "Air Head", made with Sora, the balloon head changes size constantly.
- This highlights Sora's inability to maintain consistency between shots, a core filmmaking requirement.
Sora's Guessing Game
- Sora doesn't "know" anything; it generates images by guessing based on training data parameters.
- This guessing process makes filmmaking problematic, especially with detailed scrutiny inherent in film.
