-Potential risks include the misuse of the technology to create misleading content, especially during sensitive periods like election years, and the potential for AI-generated videos to be mistaken for real ones, leading to misinformation and manipulation.
How does the AI model Sora handle the generation of human likenesses?
-The script does not provide specific details on how Sora handles the generation of human likenesses, but it suggests that there are limitations and safety measures being considered to prevent the misuse of the technology, such as generating politicians' likenesses or creating content that could be misconstrued as real.
What is the significance of the watermark in the bottom corner of Sora-generated videos?
-The watermark in the bottom corner of Sora-generated videos serves as a clear indicator that the video is AI-generated. This is important for viewers to distinguish real footage from AI-generated content.
How does the script suggest the future of AI-generated videos?
-The script suggests that AI-generated videos will continue to improve, potentially reaching a point where entire ads, YouTube videos, or movies could be entirely generated by AI. It also raises the question of whether AI can be truly innovative or if it is limited to replicating human creativity.
What is the role of 'red teamers' in relation to the AI model Sora?
-Red teamers are individuals who have access to the AI model Sora in its limited release phase. Their role is to test the model, push its limits, and try to break it in order to identify and address any potential flaws or issues before it becomes widely available.
How does the script address the issue of AI-generated videos with no sound?
-The script acknowledges that the AI-generated videos currently have no sound, which is a limitation of the technology at the time of the script. It implies that this is an area that could be improved upon in future iterations of the AI model.
