Have you ever seen those mind-bending TikTok’s online where videos that look so real, but that are impossible to be real? Then you might have been tricked by AI. The line between reality and Ai-generated videos are blurring together faster than ever before. OpenAi’s Sora is an app people can use to make Ai videos. It works by using a text prompt and generates 10 second long Ai videos.
People can use anyone’s video to make an Ai video by saving it and uploading it to Sora. These videos are bad since it could make an influencer look like they’re doing something wrong or bad, when in reality they are just getting their video stolen and made into something weird or inappropriate . Approximately 17.7 million Ai generated videos get posted to Tiktok alone daily making up around 52% of all the content on that app (https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/tiktok-shares-insights-ai-adoption-among-business-advertising/804666/) . There are videos like a group of bunnies jumping on a trampoline at night or any type of animal. Then there is something so bizarre and with much more noticeable evidence that the video is AI.
Ai is starting to become so integrated into our daily life it comes with a lot of opinions from the public. We talked with some of the students from Timberlane High School about this growing issue. This is what they had to say about it. “Well I think it degrades human creativity and sparks people to be unoriginal.”stated Emery Pitman. Which a lot of people online can agree with, kids all around the world are just looking up answers to their work on Ai and not learning anything. “It’s bad because AI intelligence will get too advanced” stated Anthony Smithell, though AI is already very advanced now studies show that it will get much more advanced in a short amount of time.
AI first became a thing in 1956 during the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. From 1956-1960 there was a rise in excitement and funding for the research and development leading to better industrial robots and also self learning programs(https://www.tableau.com/data-insights/ai/history ). As the years went on Ai technology has grown fast to what we know now then how it was when it first went public in 2022. Whether it’s making random videos to post online or using it to get all your math homework answers. AI has become very useful in some cases but in others not so much. Then years later it became so advanced that it’s able to trick millions of people with just one video from Tiktok. With the public having full access to technology like this and not knowing what’s next in AI evolution we need to be careful trusting videos that get posted.
