Sora Video

If you haven't played with Sora yet, check it out. It's video creation from the makers of ChatGPT. While it's not the best out there that I've seen, Sora makes it super easy to create short video clips from just a prompt.

For example, I gave it this prompt:

A man (mid-40s, black hair, red tie) standing in front of a computer class (about 10 people sitting at PCs). He's showing something on the projector screen behind him. He's teaching Microsoft Access.

Yeah, OK, I'm 52, but every time I say "in his 50s" I end up looking 80. And the guy it created looks nothing like me... but that's not the point. The point is look at what it was able to do with just a simple prompt.

Plus users (what I have, the $20/month plan) can create 5 second videos. Pro users ($200/month - which I'm not up for just yet) can make longer videos. It's truly remarkable.

In a couple years, you won't be able to tell the difference between real and AI generated images and video. Remember the saying from the 80s, "is it live, or is it Memorex?" Well, soon it's going to be "is it real, or is it AI?"

Richard Did you ask it to make the instructor look like you?

Meanwhile back in the textual world of AI, I've been researching some very technical stuff in Colombian law on civil rights and searches. Lots of conflicting laws, constitutional issues and court decisions. To make a long story (and even longer sessions with ChatGPT) short, ChatGPT got practically 0% correct. It would spout off some claim to my questions, and when I asked for the reference to support the AI text, it totally fumbled, often just repeating the claim it just made but in different words. When I finally got fed up and went to valid sources (with help from Google), I found that almost everything ChatGPT said was wrong. I found this deeply disturbing. I knew that ChatGPT could make errors, and that we have to double check its answers; for it to make stuff up, without any valid source is...quite artificial. I could ask anybody on the street the questions (and save $20/month) if I wanted the information pulled out of their a$$.

I did not. You see the exact prompt I gave it.

And yeah, still need to verify factual information. I just use it for things like cleaning up spelling and grammar. Summarizing articles, etc.
