    "I can neither confirm nor deny that we trained on youtube videos"
  • @EggEggEggg1
    The fact that she dodged that question about the training data isn't very "Open"AI of her.
  • @jolness1
    The vagueness of her response about what was used from the CTO shows she definitely knows they’re using copyrighted content imo.

    It's like asking a farmer: - Where do you take your apples from? Do you pick them from trees? - I dont know. If they grow on trees, perhaps yes.
  • @revestrek1
    I´m so glad this interviewer asked some real questions, Im sick of all the shallow questions over naive smiles. AI can be good, but also dangerous. It´s important we understand how serious it is, and train and use it carefully.
  • @TripleMachine
    4:50 She's smart enough to know where the models came from and she's hesitant to say because of potential lawsuits.
  • @unmonged
    this is a product i made that i am very proud of. i'm the spokesperson of the product and was sent here to speak specificity about the product only. "how did i make my product", you ask? i don't know.
  • @Outcaster88
    The way she dodged over and over the question about the training data, clearly their are not using only publicly available data.
  • @zivzulander
    I'm not going to lie, I spent half the video with my eyes darting to Mira's hands just to make sure she's real 😅
  • @official_youtube
    "My prompt for this crab said nothing about a mustache" is the most 2024 sentence ever.
  • @acer6049
    Remember the Super Phrase: Publicly available data
  • @sdf8085
    I cannot express how wild it seems to me that the CTO of one of the biggest genAI companies, promoting their latest genAI product couldn't answer what data the model was trained on.
  • @discoverymoi
    You should’ve asked Sora to make 10 people playing rock paper scissors in fast pace. 😂
  • @mrtang18
    Joanna Stern is the best! Love how she grilled her about the training data - super awkward response 😂
  • @Jay-rr6me
    What’s the point of replacing creativity we don’t want to live in a world where nothing is creative
  • As Sora can create "cartoon animation" OpenAI should show their list of animation production companies who have licensed their films to be used in the machine learning model. There's not much animation is available in public domain, especially 3D animation.
  • @ishaankelkar
    the questions asked in this interview were really good -- concise and hitting all of the important points. thank you for this informative video

    In my 40s now, looking back, I am amazed at the acceleration of technological innovation. It's now it's almost impossible to imagine what computing will be like in just 2-3 years.
