"I used Sora as an outlet for my creativity"

lmao.

Typing "make a video" in an AI promptis to creativity what calling an uber eats from macdonalds is to cooking skills.

That’s… that’s not creativity though. You just typed a prompt, not made the thing yourself. It’s the polar opposite of being creative, you outsourced the joy of being creative to a machine that doesn’t understand what creativity even is.

All of the joy of being creative comes not just from the initial spark, but from the entire process. The fun and joy I get when I draw my pixel art comes from the whole experience. Not from the idea that I started with. The challenges and obstacles add to the experience, cutting them out makes it a hollow, meaningless thing.

All for what? Some instant gratification that you get because it can spit out some slop quickly? Slop that you will instantly forget about since you had no real role in its creation? People like you make a mockery of art and the creative process.

I've used local ai audio/video generation as a similar creative outlet. It's really fun to mess around with.

Don't worry about the haters. Those people would claim that a director of a movie isn't doing any "creative" work, because the director just "prompts" the actors to give a good performance. Not to mention making a bunch of creative decisions about the script, dialog, shot composition, set design, color grading, music, sound design, editing, etc.

? I know of several people that are happy that it's getting shuttered

Are you new on lemmy? Doesn't look like it
