The Tribeca Film Festival will debut five short films made by AI, <\/em><\/a>. The shorts will use OpenAI\u2019s Sora model, which transforms <\/a>. This is the first time this type of technology will take center stage at the long-running film festival.<\/p>\n \u201cTribeca is rooted in the foundational belief that storytelling inspires change. Humans need stories to thrive and make sense of our wonderful and broken world,\u201d said co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises Jane Rosenthal. Who better to chronicle our wonderful and broken world than some lines of code owned by a company that <\/a> to let CEO Sam Altman and other board members <\/a>?<\/p>\n The unnamed filmmakers were all given access to the Sora model, which isn\u2019t yet available to the public, though they have to follow the terms of the agreements negotiated during the recent strikes <\/a>. OpenAI\u2019s COO, Brad Lightcap, says the feedback provided by these filmmakers will be used to \u201cmake Sora a better tool for all creatives.\u201d<\/p>\n When we last covered Sora, it could only handle 60 seconds of video from a single prompt. If that\u2019s still the case, these short films will make Quibi shows look like a Ken Burns documentary. The software also struggles with cause and effect and, well, that\u2019s basically what a story is. However, all of these limitations come from the ancient days of February, and this tech tends to move quickly. Also, I assume there\u2019s no rule against using prompts to create single scenes, which the filmmaker can string together to make a story.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t have that long to find out if cold technology can accurately peer into our warm human hearts. The shorts will screen on June 15 and there\u2019s a conversation with the various filmmakers immediately following the debut.<\/p>\n This follows a spate of agreements between <\/a>. Vox Media, The Atlantic<\/em>, News Corp, Dotdash Meredith and even Reddit have all struck deals with OpenAI to let the company train its models on their content. Meanwhile, Meta and Google are looking for <\/a> to train its models. It looks like we are going to get this \u201cAI creates everything\u201d future, whether we want it or not.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
