At the beginning of the Year of the Dragon
Artificial Intelligence (AI) giant openai has thrown out Wang Zha
Officially announced the "Wensheng Video" model sora
"Throw a novel into a blockbuster"
ai's video creation ability is amazing
If you say The chatbot chatgpt
released last year has "dazzled many people"
Then, this time the "ai Wensheng video" is even more shocking
At the moment, the Wenzhou Federation of Social Science and Technology is also holding a video creation competition in which AI plays the leading role. Ni Kaomeng, vice chairman of the Wenzhou Federation of Social Science and Technology, said that more than 10 outstanding works have been received. He said frankly that this competition was held half a month before sora was released. "We were forward-looking and knew the trend of technological evolution, but we didn't expect sora to come so fast."
Temperature News specially invited Zhang Wenyu, an artificial intelligence expert, to analyze the technological impact brought by this new model and its impact on the general public.
Wenzhou Federation of Social Science and Technology: From AI Painting to AI Video Competition
Just in March last year, Wenzhou Federation of Social Science and Technology launched a Wenzhou Song and Yuan Ancient Port AI Painting Competition, and received nearly 200 works within two days. The award-winning masterpiece was featured in a lecture given by Professor Wu Songdi of Fudan University in Wenzhou. Amateurs can use AI to draw magnificent, strange and "cyberpunk" paintings. This wave of operations is already quite amazing.
Eight or nine months later, the Wenzhou Federation of Social Science and Technology launched the aigc video creation competition. The competition prize money totals 240,000 yuan. To Ni Kaomeng's surprise, the quality of the collected works was higher than expected.
's submission "Wenzhou Drum Lyrics Memory of Lucheng" uses Wenzhou Drum Lyrics "Memory of Lucheng" composed by Chen Xiangming and adapted and sung by Dai Mecha as the background music, with English subtitles. Such a mash-up of crossovers has received more than 1,100 reposts on the video account and over 500 likes.
Ni Kaomeng himself is also a new technology enthusiast and has been committed to popularizing generative artificial intelligence (aigc) technology. According to him, the current AI-generated videos are actually a combination of multiple AI tools. First, humans or AI create scripts, and then decompose the scripts into shots, then use AI to draw pictures, and then convert the pictures into videos, and use AI digital humans for dubbing. Finally edited together. Taking this competition as an example, contestants can choose tools such as Wensheng Video, Tusheng Video or digital virtual human. Multiple technology platforms support this competition. "In fact, some of the videos that netizens now view have been synthesized by machines. Creators simply retrieve materials from online video libraries, and then use machines to automatically edit them together to make some very cool short videos." Ni Kaomeng introduced , the newly released sora greatly simplifies this process and makes video production "fool-proof". In the past, there were similar models in China, but the generated video duration was relatively short, the controllability was relatively poor, and the effect was far from as stunning as this.
On the evening of February 10 this year, an AI Spring Festival Gala was staged on video accounts, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili and other platforms, attracting more than 100,000 AI enthusiasts. Ni Kaomeng is the co-creator volunteer of this Spring Festival Gala. He also put a video he created called "Little Dragon Man" on this Spring Festival Gala, which lasts for more than 3 minutes.
In fact, at the end of last year, the startup company pika released version 1.0 of its AI video generation application, which attracted global attention. One of its founders, beautiful schoolmaster Guo Wenjing, subsequently left the industry, and even caused the listed companies actually controlled by his father to rise continuously.
Nowadays, many people believe that sora has easily "defeated" and is about to "overthrow" emerging unicorn companies such as pika on its own. Will
video creators lose their jobs?
ai Although Wensheng Video seems far away from our lives, short videos have been deeply integrated into the lives of Chinese people, and many users are easily addicted to short videos. This has also spawned a very huge short video production industry. Zhou Hongyi, founder of
360, commented on sora on Weibo: "Once artificial intelligence is connected to the camera and watches all the movies, videos on YouTube and TikTok, the understanding of the world will far exceed text learning. A picture is worth a thousand words. This is really not far from AGI (general artificial intelligence). It is not a matter of 10 or 20 years. It may be achieved very soon in one or two years."
If the emergence of chatgpt has made many text workers worry about losing their jobs, then the emergence of sora has made video creators feel even more pressure.
"AI can understand the world from a three-dimensional perspective! "Giorgio", a junior journalism student born in 2000, said directly that the world has been turned upside down. Xiao Chen, a Wenzhou college student studying in Australia, believes that AI Wensheng Video is an inevitable trend, and it is certain that after the technology is improved, it will replace manpower. But at present, this The technology is not yet perfect, and it is expected to be many years before it is popularized in Wenzhou.
Ni Kaomeng believes that if the sora buyer's show and the seller's show are consistent, then the production cost of creative videos that "do not pursue precise expression" will be greatly reduced. Video laymen use sora It can also quickly make a video of 70 or 80.
Zhang Chao, a video reporter from Wenzhou local media, believes that this new tool can improve productivity and will spawn more emerging industries. He is not worried about his job, " Everyone can use it, but it makes us more relaxed, and we can save time to shoot some videos that must be shot by real people."
Zhang Wenyu, director of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of Zhejiang University of Finance and Economics, is also optimistic. He believes that with the popularity of chatgpt, , short essays on the Internet are growing exponentially; it is foreseeable that with the popularity of sora, short videos on the Internet will also grow exponentially. chatgpt and sora will become good helpers for people to generate content, allowing humans to focus on the main content Spend your energy on core creations that require more human inspiration and human brilliance. In a few years, if a director remakes the "Hot" movie, he will not let the real actors make the sacrifice of first gaining 40 pounds and then losing 100 pounds.
Will there be more and more virtual content in human life?
With the advent of the "post-truth era", Ni Kaomeng believes that the "pseudo-original content" of washed manuscripts on short video platforms will explode, and fake news It will also increase accordingly. This is also a problem that many people are worried about. Will this new tool breed gray industries such as "fake and real" fraudulent videos and pornographic videos?
Zhang Wenyu believes that AI Wensheng video technology does bring some legal risks. For example, the generated virtual characters may be used for fraudulent activities; at the same time, this technology may involve personal privacy and infringement issues, causing personal images to be cloned and used by others without authorization. AI Vincent's video made us suspicious In the past, the traditional concept of "pictures and truth, sound and truth". Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the establishment of relevant laws, regulations and ethical standards to standardize the scope and methods of use of Vincent Video to ensure the legal and reasonable use of AI Vincent Video technology.
As the new generation of digital technology led by artificial intelligence reshapes the Internet, Zhang Wenyu believes that in the future, humans will need to cooperate and coexist with various virtual humans and robots. In human social circles, virtual humans and robots will even be the most important Most. Every human being also comes with multiple digital clones (which can have different virtual personalities) and multiple virtual assistants (such as virtual doctors, virtual teachers, and even virtual companions). But you don’t need to worry too much. Currently, internationally The development of general artificial intelligence has increasingly focused on establishing the correct values (i.e., alignment) for machines, allowing them to put the priorities of human society before the priorities of individual machines. Therefore, virtual humans and robots in human social circles will generally have fully developed moral, intellectual, and physical characteristics, and humans do not have to worry about being led astray by "bad friends."
