Sora, OpenAI's video generator, has hit the UK. It's obvious why creatives are worried

If you want to know why Tyler Perry put an 800m ( 635m) expansion of his studio complex on hold, type "two people in a living room in the mountains" into OpenAI's video generation tool. The result from artificial intelligence-powered Sora, which was released in the UK and Europe on Friday, indicates why the US TV and film mogul paused his plans. Perry said last year after seeing previews of Sora that if he wanted to produce that mountain shot, he may not need to build sets on location or on his lot. "I can sit in an office and do this with a computer, which is shocking to me," he said. The result from a simple text prompt is only five seconds long – you can go to up to 20 seconds and also stitch together much longer videos from the tool – and the "actors" display telltale problems with their hands (a common problem with AI tools).
