alt Hacker NewsSora makes movies less interesting, regardless of how they're created.
The part made by Sora? About as interesting as the latest chess programs doing well at chess. woohoo/nice job.
The overall effect? Now we spend mental energy trying to figure out which parts are machine generated, and hence not worth anything. That mental energy is gone, sucked out of the cultural economy, and fed to the machinery of mediocrity.

Huh? AI chess is much more interesting to watch than human chess.

Star Wars? Not worth anything, huge reliance on "machine-generated" imagery. Lord of the Rings? Useless film, uses "machine-generated" imagery. Don't even get me started on anything by Pixar.

If you have to spend mental energy trying to figure out which is which solely to blindly and automatically disregard something, maybe there’s useful stuff there to enjoy instead.
I certainly don’t dislike all the cool movies where special effects are CG just because the old time stop motion artists from 1950s Flash Gordon aren’t using sparklers. Similarly I’m not going to discount new creation that can be enjoyable no matter the provenance.
