The OpenAI community has been buzzing with discussions regarding SORA, OpenAI’s latest technological offering, and its potential pricing structure. With the success of ChatGPT and its dual model of offering both free and paid versions, the community is curious whether SORA will follow a similar path. Some community members speculate about the possibility of OpenAI introducing SORA with an initial allocation of free credits, akin to a trial period, before transitioning to a paid service model.

The debate also extends to the ethical considerations of AI-generated content, with suggestions for implementing a non-viewable stamp on video produced by SORA. This stamp would serve as a digital watermark, indicating the artificial origin of the content, thereby addressing concerns about the authenticity and traceability of AI-generated images.

Sora is our first video generation model – it can create HD videos up to 1 min long. AGI will be able to simulate the physical world, and Sora is a key step in that direction. thrilled to have worked on this with @billpeeb at @openai for the past year https://t.co/p4kAkRR0i0 pic.twitter.com/Hipku1LFRM
