Washed Out's 'The Hardest Part' Music Video Created Using Open AI's Sora Sparks Debate

Washed Out's latest music video for the song "The Hardest Part" has made waves in the artistic community by being created entirely using Open AI's text-to-video model, Sora. The four-minute video follows the journey of a couple from their high school years to adulthood, utilizing surreal and hallucinatory visuals. Director Paul Trillio praised Sora's capabilities, mentioning the realization of his unique vision. Although some artists question AI's ability to enhance creativity, the accessibility of generative AI tools could empower lower-budget artists to undertake larger-scale projects, while Trillio sees AI as a supplement to traditional forms of creativity. Controversies regarding copyright infringement and ownership of AI-generated content have also arisen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message
