People are at home, but the bucket of rice comes from heaven. Yesterday, Xie Saining, a well-known AI expert, was very busy, and all kinds of rumors were left behind him.
The reason why this is so is because there were some news reports before, saying that it was "the inventor of SORA" ("One of the inventors of SORA that shocked the world, is a genius boy who graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University - Xie Saining", a top student of Shanghai Jiao Tong University), in fact, Xie Saining himself also said that SORA has no half-dime relationship with him, "purely relying on AI text writing, confusing the public", a person is still so ashamed when he reaches middle age.
Although the misinformation and "Lalang matching" are ridiculous, we can also see the hidden worries: SORA has caused huge pressure on China's technology community, as well as worries about the disparity in technological strength between China and the United States, and urgently needs a channel for catharsis and appeasement.
Since the launch of the ChatGPT (ChatGPT) chatbot in November of this year, OpenAI has been at the center of this wave of AI and is leading the development of generative AI around the world. On February 16 this year, the first ** mode of text generation released by OpenAI, SORA, shocked the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that a one-minute ** requires a detailed background, complex perspectives, and the emotions of the characters, which is like a science fiction film for ordinary people.
This is beyond the limits of people's imagination.
A fashionably dressed woman is walking on the streets of Tokyo that are bustling with neon lights and signs, she is wearing a black leather jacket, a red dress, black boots, red sunglasses, red lips, red lips, and a black leather bag. It was like a heavy rain on the street, wet and reflecting colorful lights.
After hearing this story, everyone will have all kinds of associations, but few people's imagination can be so delicate, and the next **, is a 59-second original image, after zooming in, it can be clearly seen that this woman's face has some pimples, and it has been combed with an eyebrow pencil, it looks much more realistic than before, it is almost like it was shot with a camera.
*:Sola. During the Chinese New Year, there will be lion dance performances, people coming and going in the streets, red flags flying, children marching, and old people taking pictures with cameras, which many Chinese simply cannot imagine.
*:Sola. A creature covered in fluff crouched in front of a burning candle, its eyes wide and its mouth wide open, as if it were seeing the world for the first time. The candle shines on his face, making the hair on his body glow with a yellow halo, and the combination of 3D and realism, as well as warm colors and strong light, adds to the comfort of the picture.
*:Sola. Here's a real-life footage showing two pirates fighting over a cup of coffee. These two ** are both anime, and it takes a lot of time and effort to make them, but now, they can be produced without saying a word.
*:Sola. It's an old, white SUV that sps along a steep mountain road surrounded by pine forests, the wheels kick up a cloud of dust on the ground, the sun shines on the body, and the road is surrounded by steep mountains, which has a bit of the flavor of Fast and Furious drag racing. Obviously, this blow will also ripple through the gaming industry as a whole.
*:Sola. At least the cutscenes produced by many companies can only do this to this extent.
*:Sola. *:Sola.
However, SORA still has shortcomings, such as the inability to accurately model the physical laws of complex scenarios, the inability to fully understand the causes of specific events, the unclear spatiotemporal characteristics of events, and the unclear path of specific camera movements.
For example, in the following video, although an old lady is blowing out her candlelight, her gaze is wandering and does not interact with the character behind her.
*:Sola. On a gravel road, several gray wolf cubs are playing, but new creatures are constantly emerging in the picture.
*:Sola. However, Guotai Junan**'s research report pointed out that the company has made milestone progress in AIGC, with three main distinctive features. First of all, 60 seconds**, Sora can ensure the smoothness and stability of the picture, and at the same time ensure the characters and scenes in the picture. Secondly, Sora can shoot from multiple perspectives over a period of time, and it can be reasonably switched between different perspectives. In addition to this, Sora is also very good at understanding reality, and she does a good job of lighting, moving, moving, etc., which greatly improves the realism of the game.
One user said in a public forum for open AI, "A lot of people are going to lose their jobs. "Maybe these people include photographers, artists, animators, and so on. Musk expressed his opinion on a video made by a certain X user about Sora: "GG human" (GG "goodgames" on the Internet, usually refers to the winner and loser after a game, but nowadays it is mostly used by losers to admit defeat and admit defeat).
Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, said that SORA marks the reduction of the global AI (AGI) implementation time from 10 years to 1 year. He said that if OpenAI wants to cultivate such a model, it must look at a lot of **, combined with diffusion and other methods, in order to better understand the world. When an AI is connected to the camera, every video, YouTube and YouTube, its understanding of the world will be much deeper than simply describing it in words, one is worth a thousand sentences, and it can convey much more information than it can do, so it's not far from AGI, not ten or twenty years, but a year or two.
For example, if you have just entered high school and are suddenly told that there is less than a month left, will you be nervous?
However, there are several questions to consider before this happens. Xie Saining clarified the matter on social platforms and expressed his opinion:
In a complex system like SORA, there is no substitute for the first consideration of talent, then data, and finally computing power. How can you ensure that information and ideas are delivered smoothly and accurately, and that they are not exploited? Are we ready for the R&D and management system?
The picture is from the Internet.
In fact, OpenAI also noted that the release of SORA could easily lead to its misuse: "Although there has been a lot of investigation and testing, we still can't predict how people will use our technology, or how they will use our technology." "Therefore, we strongly believe that learning from real-life lessons is an important factor in creating and distributing more reliable AI systems. ”
The author believes that the technological gap will be caught up sooner or later, which can be worried, but there is no need to be too anxious, and the birth of China's "SORA", in addition to science and technology, we need to make more preparations and considerations.
