You simply cannot argue that these models don't / won't compete with the content they're trained on, and the human creators behind that content.

The text-to-video diffusion model, known as Sora, has revolutionized the creation of minute-long videos, rendering them so lifelike that they appear indistinguishable from reality. The reception to Sora has sparked two distinct reactions among audiences: one camp questions whether Sora will render traditional video production obsolete, while the other eagerly seeks ways to experience it firsthand.

Addressing the former concern will undoubtedly entail a protracted battle over artistic rights, necessitating regulatory intervention at the highest levels. As for the latter question, the unfortunate reality is that access to Sora remains limited for now.
Although Sora was officially announced, OpenAI clarifies that it is currently undergoing rigorous testing in what is known as the red-teaming phase. This phase involves adversarial testing to ensure that Sora does not generate harmful or inappropriate content. Additionally, OpenAI is providing access to a select group of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to gather feedback on how to further enhance the model’s capabilities for creative professionals. The goal is ostensibly to empower creative professionals to leverage the technology rather than be supplanted by it. However, the true implications will only become apparent once Sora is made widely available and adopted by businesses.

For those eager to witness Sora’s capabilities, OpenAI has showcased several demos in their announcement. CEO Sam Altman has also shared videos of prompts requested by users, offering glimpses into Sora’s potential applications.
Despite the excitement surrounding Sora, OpenAI has not disclosed a timeline for its widespread release. Therefore, unless you are involved in the red-teaming process or selected as a creative tester, you may have to exercise patience and content yourself with the existing demos for the time being.
