WOW!!!! Not going to lie... I've been getting a tad bit more annoyed with how slow and buggy my Adobe Software has been running lately, especially on high-rez work... I did NOT expect this. Midjourney has been great with Style Reference... But this looks just a little better for my particular needs considering my workflow. I am very impressed! Now, I can FINALLY integrate my Textures library into my process in a less manual way. Being able to have full control over comps and everything, without worrying too much about refinement, and then running my comp through this before upscaling and overpainting... AMAZING! Thanks for sharing, yall literally fuck up my entire workflow with every video. And I love you for it. Thank you for another awesome video!!! 🖤🖤🖤

So glad you enjoyed the content!

Something tells me that it will be difficult for the general public to get their hands on these tools. Of course, you can already access it for free on the internet through a simple browser. But it's still too rudimentary to get anything exploitable. And something tells me that the development studios will be pressured to prevent individuals from using them. In this I am not optimistic at all. It is all the more annoying that I have been writing a story since last year and that I would like to do something with it with one day.There are also ecological and environmental considerations that must be taken into account since all of this goes through servers that are extremely energy-consuming.And as much to say that it will probably not contribute positively to global warming, that all the rest. I am talking of course about future AIs who will be able to do things much more intuitively than now.

Seems a bit pointless to get a professional filmmaker's opinion on Sora. *_Obviously,_* he's going to prefer real actors, real cameras, etc because that's how he's made movies his whole life. A professional filmmaker is going to want more precision control than some Joe Blow wanting to piddle around for fun. This is sort of like getting Paul McCartney's or Van Halen's opinion on Suno AI. Both Suno and Sora are intended to bring music and video (respectively) to the average Joe, not to be utilized by professionals who have millions of dollars at their disposal. Obviously, Suno is never going to offer the precision of an actual recording studio with real people playing real instruments, nor is it meant to. Suno and Sora are just the "Wix" or "WordPress" of music and video production.

@curiousrefuge

We see your point, but this first release of Sora is basically a beta. Consider this - in 1-2 years, Sora will have the control that you are talking about so it will be interesting to see what all types of professionals say about it. We can't wait to see what happens :)

This looks ridiculously complicated. It should be possible to supplant such a walking person by a prompt in a natural language, like: "Replace the gray-clad woman by the orange-clad". A filmmaker has only a few decades for his work. If he constantly has to work with tools of such a backward slowness, he'll be robbed of the opportunity to try out thousands of ideas.

Ай бұрын

​@@curiousrefuge Yes, it's quite obvious that such downsides must still, and certainly soon will, have to be overcome. What I could imagine is that until now they aren't because the LLMs (large language models) would still not accomplish such tasks reliably enough. They could lend a person supplanted because of a natural-language prompt additional legs when they interpreted "gray" as referring also to the ground a person walks across, or the like. Current LLMs apparently are entities one cannot easily overlook the workings of, high-end outcomes of avant-garde developments released a little hastily because of how impressive and usable they are already in such a state. But it could also contribute much to the persistence of such more primitive procedures that whenever you talk to such a machine in ordinary language, this again requires tons of computational processes - which could often slow down a step just as much as the current, more old-fashioned procedures.

I think sora will create new "art" shows, where "artists" put on display their prompts. Just like those weird art shows where a guy stacks sand buckets on top of each other, or an artists just spills paint on a canvas and calls for a million bucks. You know these weird reddit dwellers that say "i'M goInG To MaKe A MoViE" "I'm GoInG To MAke Star wArS beTTER than DisNEy", they're the one that will jerk off to this tech. It's certainly not going to affect the movies and 3d modeling in this current form. Digital art is cooked sadly, especially concept art. It's got so good that you can just prompt some concept and adjust it, the quality is good enough for corpos to save money on an artist

I’m not against it but ease of access to everything is lowering the value we put on real art. It happened with the digitalization and democratization of music with streaming . Now we are starting to see it in films with apps and streaming. More mediocre content will only make the mediums less special over time like it has done with music. So many people make great music now but no one cares because anyone can do it and it’s not special anymore. Don’t let that happen to film

This video is just one big ad disguised as news with AI bullshit in the title. The reality is, AI is just a toy. Despite all the blah blah blah, there is not a single instance where the quality gets even close to being usable. Even voice cloning and TTS, which have been in development for literal decades, still can't really fool people and are full of problems. I don't think AI can classify even as a gimmick anymore given how horribly useless everything these companies produce is. It's merely a toy, with very limited professional use, and that's ignoring the blatant problems with IP theft companies like OpenAI depend on.
