"AI has been improving in a scary way; it's currently harder to tell if things are AI generated. This puts many jobs especially at stake." -- Naomi stallworth, 7th grade
AI has been improving on videos animating realistic people, AI has always had noticeable and easy flaws in videos and even writing but comparing when AI softwares were first out and now, AI has been improving in a scary way; it's currently harder to tell if things are AI generated. This puts many jobs especially at stake.
Sora AI is an AI video software, which has actually dropped its commercial-making mode alongside Sora 2 AI. Although what makes this different is that the videos are similar to actual human movement, the software has also improved at animating animals.
For example, this video posted by garry12gg on Youtube. Now as you may notice the visuals, it has fewer flaws compared to how Sora AI used to look. There are noticeable flaws but it seems to be improving on animations and sound effects.
People have also made short Sora AI videos of animals or even children on doorsteps getting taken away by tornados. Now this is probably for humor and entertainment. Surprisingly, most of the Youtube shorts about Sora AI are mostly about that, like in this video. Despite being quite unrealistic, it does show the improvement of the video quality.
Commercials aren't the only thing that the software can create. Sora AI was also trained to copy the Pixar movie styles, mostly from taking movie clips and asking to replicate the style, this can be used on ANY art style. People have used this to add on parts to Pixar movies. If Sora AI ever drops a new update with the ability to remove the watermark alongside video and sound improvement, the videos would most likely be flawless.
Sayuri Espinoza, a student from Literary Arts, explained their experience of finding an Sora AI commercial: “It’s so scary because it looks realistic. Also I’ve seen so many Sora AI videos and people can make ANYTHING with that.”
Benj Edwards’s Article titled AI video just took a startling leap in realism. Are we doomed?
reported that “Google also launched Flow, an online AI filmmaking tool that combines Veo 3 with the company’s Imagen 4 image generator and Gemini language model, allowing creators to describe scenes in natural language and manage characters, locations, and visual styles in a web interface.”
This shows that many different AI softwares have been improving on animation. Animators have been paid less for animated movies now that AI softwares can replicate this without much money, this could also impact animation softwares like Adobe Animate, making fewer people buy the subscription and use AI instead. Animators are likely to lose more money, jobs, or even be replaced by AI generators.

Students at Oakland School for the Arts, as artists, stated their opinions on this matter.
Evie Ahlers, a student from Literary Arts, states that “AI can be really bad for the environment, including ChatGPT wasting water.”
Charles Knox McCasland, a student from Literary Arts stated how they feel about AI, saying “I think AI is great.” They have also explained that they have noticed how AI has changed over time: “It has gotten smarter in some ways, dumber in others. And now people are quicker to label images as AI.”
Alice Stewart, a student from Literary Arts, says “I think when AI first showed up everyone was like, ‘Let’s hope this doesn't cause the apocalypse’ and now they’re all like ‘This is probably gonna cause the apocalypse… is that AI art of a baby penguin reading a book? So cute!!’ I just feel like AI is just gradually getting more normalized, and it’s less scary and more of an accepted part of society.”
Logan Bergmark, a student from Literary Arts, said their opinion on AI is that “It’s gonna take away jobs humans have, like, did you know most book covers are AI nowadays? Soon the whole book will be AI. There are countless other jobs that have also been pushed out of the way by AI.”
Amara Deanes, a student from Literary Arts, stated that they hated AI because “it’s being used to replace artists. If AI did all the mundane jobs no one wanted to do, then we could all create.”
In conclusion these new AI generators and softwares are improving a lot,creating almost flawless animation visuals and even sound. This can provide easy and good tools at a low cost, although this could put many jobs at risk for people, like animators, writers, singers, etc.
