Summary

  • OpenAI’s Sora AI video generation tool generally requires very specific prompting to produce reasonable outputs, even from users with prompting expertise, as many of the current outputs are low-quality and unnatural-looking
  • When generating videos, the tool is better at understanding the intended “vibe” of a prompt rather than specific directions, most likely due to the complex nature of translating text-to-video with precise details
  • Object interaction and complex motion are two areas where the Sora AI tool struggles disproportionately, producing comedic results on many attempts
  • Limiting the complexity of prompts to focus on aesthetic and styling recommendations improves results, but Sora AI is still far from producing realistic, natural videos
  • However, as with many AI technologies, exponential growth is expected in the next few years, and experts predict Sora AI videos will likely be high-quality and difficult to differentiate from reality.
