New Sora AI-video tool by maker of ChatGPT worries media creators | Reactions

[ad_1] A new artificial intelligence tool that promises to create short videos from simple text commands has raised concerns along with questions from artists and media professionals. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT and image generator DALL-E, said Thursday it was testing a text-to-video model called "Sora" that can allow users to create realistic videos with simple prompts. The San Francisco-based startup says Sora can "generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background," but admits it still has limitations, such as possibly "mixing up left and right." Here are early reactions from industries that could be affected by the new generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool: StudiosExamples of Sora-created clips o...

Artists use tech weapons against AI copycats

[ad_1] Artists under siege by artificial intelligence (AI) that studies their work, then replicates their styles, have teamed with university researchers to stymy such copycat activity.US illustrator Paloma McClain went into defense mode after learning that several AI models had been "trained" using her art, with no credit or compensation sent her way. "It bothered me," McClain told AFP. "I believe truly meaningful technological advancement is done ethically and elevates all people instead of functioning at the expense of others."The artist turned to free software called Glaze created by researchers at the University of Chicago.Glaze essentially outthinks AI models when it comes to how they train, tweaking pixels in ways indiscernible by human viewers but which make a digitized piece of...

Dall-E 3 Is So Good It’s Stoking an Artist Revolt Against AI Scraping

[ad_1]  Dall-E 3, the latest image-generating software created by OpenAI, can produce a picture of almost anything. It can conjure a watercolor portrait of a mermaid, a personalized birthday greeting or a faux photograph of Spider-Man eating pizza, all based on just a few words of prompting.The new version of the tool, released in September, represents a “leap forward,” in artificial intelligence-created images, OpenAI says. Dall-E 3 offers better detail and the ability to render text more reliably. It's also further stoked illustrators' fears that they will be replaced by a computer program mimicking their work.

Spotify may take on TikTok, YouTube Music, launch full-length music videos

[ad_1] Spotify, the popular music streaming platform, is reportedly looking into the possibility of adding full-length music videos to its collection. This strategic move aims to bolster its competitiveness against YouTube Music, which already offers extensive support for music videos, and also to challenge the popularity of TikTok, a leading short-form video platform. Citing sources familiar with the matter, a report by Bloomberg sheds light on Spotify's intention to introduce music videos, a feature that could significantly improve its position in the market.At present, Spotify allows artists to upload GIF images that accompany their tracks, but this falls short of offering the immersive experience of full-fledged music videos. Recognizing this, the streaming giant is in talks with va...
