What TED Will Look Like in 40 Years — According to Sora, OpenAI’s Unreleased Text-to-Video Model

Sora, an unreleased AI model from OpenAI, generates realistic and imaginative video from text prompts. Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Trillo was granted early access just before the TED2024 conference. This year marks TED’s 40th anniversary — but instead of looking back, we asked Sora to show us what the next 40 years could look like. (Footage…

Sora, an unreleased AI model from OpenAI, generates realistic and imaginative video from text prompts. Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Trillo was granted early access just before the TED2024 conference. This year marks TED’s 40th anniversary — but instead of looking back, we asked Sora to show us what the next 40 years could look like. (Footage for this video was created with AI using Sora, except for the TED logo animation. Music composed by Jacques: )

    looks like a person standing on a stage talking to people sitting in chairs is still the norm in 40 years.

    With TED hosting great creatives all the time, I’m really ashamed in them for using the Content Stealing machine known as generative AI, surprised that others artists haven’t commented on this. Disappointing.

      Set reminder. 6 years. Let me know if you still aren’t using AI 😉

  6. @simonlivings629

    April 26, 2024 at 5:12 pm

    Is this Ai generated then?

    It is yes.

    WTFffffffF

    Ok context is starting to hit.
    TF😂

    • @RubelliteFae

      April 26, 2024 at 8:32 pm

      The AI can’t do anything on their own. It’s generated by a human using AI tech.
      So’s the music on my channel, BTW. Y’all got caught sleeping. This stuff is amazing

  7. @IMBIue

    April 26, 2024 at 5:16 pm

    I’m surprised it didn’t show a bear smoking pot.

    Just a load of nonsense…

  9. @naodmulu1080

    April 26, 2024 at 5:41 pm

    This is actually nonsense, what does it even mean? Is SORA on acid ?

    Just women gossiping!

  13. @darkjill2007

    That was so much better than the music video.

  14. @Vorshays

    April 26, 2024 at 7:14 pm

    Makes zero sense.

  15. @micro8106

    April 26, 2024 at 7:15 pm

    When I looking this video, I shock because some of the scene are already exist in this world. it means this video made by AI that recognise our current situation and predict the phenomenon of the future.

    “Speed makes me dizzy”. Cool music, though.

  23. @intencityfan

    April 26, 2024 at 8:40 pm

    It will be dominated by activists, and generally uninteresting. You ruined what could have been a pivotal platform.

  24. @Alex55555

    April 26, 2024 at 9:02 pm

    What is the point?

  25. @Again-cn1dk

    April 26, 2024 at 9:12 pm

    At that time, will the audience still be humans?

  26. @TheSpaceOctopus

    April 26, 2024 at 10:45 pm

    for a second it looked a bit like the meats were having their own TED talk… and tbh I would not have even been surprised.

  27. @linrainbow5590

    April 26, 2024 at 10:58 pm

    It looks like a video patter that Sora can only do.
    I had seen something quite similar and that was nothing related to TED,

    probably platforming somehow even more grifters no doubt

  34. @dishas

    April 27, 2024 at 1:53 am

    It was short but still a waste of my time

  35. @christianherrmann

    April 27, 2024 at 1:56 am

    😂 With the rapid decline of quality talks in TED, hardly doubt it will be at all relevant 40 years from now

  39. @JonathanKDeau

    This made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

  40. @Mokobara.x

    This won’t take 40 years….max 7 years

  48. @singh-is_king

    gave me a headache

  49. @dougewald243

    40 years?
    More like 2 years.

  50. @TheRealByronBlanco

    April 27, 2024 at 7:07 pm

    TED will be out of business so long as it continues to take on “woke” topics. People will increasingly become disinterested and choose to look for unbiased truth elsewhere

    nah, not impressive, at all.

  54. @SiNeXDK

    April 28, 2024 at 7:18 am

    Idk how you guys can say, that it is unrelated to TED. The topics talked about is even displayed and that is exactly what a videographer would do an intro.

  55. @smutti0404

    April 28, 2024 at 10:21 am

    Do we have 40 years left?
    The way the world looks now…China , Putin, North Korea, India, Pakistan, climate changes
    I’m not so sure!

  56. @AlexS-vz7od

    April 28, 2024 at 3:44 pm

    Pretty underwhelming… Nice moving sequences though. What’s with the claustrophobic spaces? It looks like TED’S moving to the basement by 2060.

  57. @brittam.7654

    April 28, 2024 at 3:47 pm

    So, nothing to look forward to.

      Well…l will advise you should stop
      trading on your own if you keep losing and start trading with an expert because trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbie…😊❤
