An incident occurred during which access rights to OpenAI’s video creation AI ‘Sora’, which has not yet been officially released, were leaked.
TechCrunch reported on the twenty sixth (local time) that a gaggle of artists who gained early access to check OpenAI’s video creation AI ‘Sora’ released an API to access Sora online.
In accordance with this, the API was released as a protest, claiming that OpenAI didn’t provide fair compensation to early testers and was forcing exaggerated publicity about Sora’s performance.
This group, calling themselves ‘Sora PR Puppets’, posted a project that permits users to make use of Sora on Hugging Face, an AI development platform.
The project includes an authentication token, allowing general users to make use of Sora. The leaked Sora is believed to be a ‘turbo’ version that may create 10-second videos at 1080p resolution, which led to a rapid increase within the variety of users accessing the project, leading to waiting times. The outcomes were confirmed to contain OpenAI’s unique watermark, and access to the project is currently blocked.
The group that leaked Sora’s access rights criticized Open AI, saying, “Open AI is forcing positive reviews on lots of of testers and ignoring fair compensation for his or her work.”
In response to this, OpenAI countered, saying, “Testers haven’t any additional obligations apart from confidentiality,” and added, “Sora continues to be within the research preview stage, and we try to strike a balance between creativity and safety.”
Meanwhile, some experts are raising the chance that the delay in Sora development could also be behind this incident.
Since Tim Brooks, certainly one of the co-leaders of the Sora Project, moved to Google last October, there was evaluation that OpenAI is experiencing difficulties as a consequence of technical problems maintaining character consistency in generated videos and competitors entering Hollywood.
