I'm assuming you've played more with AI video creation than I have.
Was there anything impressive here or is this mostly "meh"? I didn't see this solve any of the problems with AI videos but maybe this is solving something that I didn't know was a problem?
That's really what I'm trying to figure out with this announcement. Seeing 100s of comments about how impressive this is with no comments really discussing why has me trying to figure out what part of the hype I'm missing.
Good question. The one thing that Altman really seemed keen to play up was the whole integrate yourself into the video which from what I watched is definitely a step beyond the more conventional Image-To-Video models.
Depressingly that's probably a killer feature since if there's one thing people want to see more of it's themselves.
IMHO I also think the fact that they're trying to position themselves as a sort of infinite doom-scrolling tiktok lends support to the idea that their models are still only suitable for relatively short videos since coherency probably falls off a cliff after 30-60 seconds.
