Talk about a stretch.
OpenAI’s artificial intelligence video generator has the technology in a tailspin after the tool, called Sora, created a chilling clip of a gymnast contorting her body into a series of stunning – and completely unnatural – movements.
The disturbing footage, requested by a Sora user via text message, showed the ballerina erratically walking through a series of mostly impossible stunts.
From time to time, the body appeared to be flying as well – in what appeared to be an exorcism in progress.
Critics were quick to point out that the discovery of artificial intelligence has yet to pass the “Turing Test” — a term used to describe how machines exhibit human-like intelligence, or the lack thereof.
The fintech worker who made the footage told X that AI-gen gymnastics videos are currently the barometer of how successful DIY footage can be – due to the wide range of motion capture.
“I’ve known for the past 6 months, after playing with text models in videos, that they struggle with complex physical movements like gymnastics,” the man, known online as Deedy Das, told Ars Technica.
User X shared other videos of AI gymnastics stunts where the athlete appeared to split into two people at points.
However, he noted that these current clips are still far more sophisticated than what AI could do on the subject half a year ago.
“Overall, it was an improvement, because before… the gymnast would just teleport or change her outfit in the middle of a flip, but overall it still looks absolutely terrible. We were hoping the AI video would learn the physics by default, but it didn’t it happened yet!”
Others acknowledged that generative AI, which also struggles greatly with copycat language, still has a lot to learn about human mechanics.
“Watching Sora struggle with basic physics shows how simulating reality actually requires you to understand it first,” commented one user.
“We’re finding that ‘common sense’ is anything but common – it’s one of the hardest things to code.”
In other recent robotic flurries, Coca-Cola was recently ripped for the quality of a recent AI-made holiday ad.
Others have also had unpleasant interactions with chatbots of large language patterns recently.
A Google program went off the rails by telling one user to die and instructing others to eat rocks for nutritional benefits.
