About this listen
Two former Sora creators, Darren and Miles discuss OpenAI’s Sora shutting down on April 26 and what it means for creators and the generative AI video space. Miles shares his background in tech and how ChatGPT-3.5 and then Sora drew him into AI video creation and community-building through Discord and creator groups. We describe why Sora stood out for producing strong outputs from simple prompts and how top creators learned to hook, tell a story, and land a punch within 10 seconds. We react to the surprise of the model itself being discontinued and speculate OpenAI may be moving toward “world models.” We also define “AI slop,” compare AI adoption to early CGI backlash, discuss Chinese video models like Seedance and the power of video inputs, and predict improvements in consistency, longer clips, and remix-friendly social features.
