ChatGPT Plus subscribers will enjoy unlimited access to OpenAI’s Sora video generator during the holiday season. This temporary perk allows users to create videos of any length and resolution without the limitations previously imposed on standard Plus accounts.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman attributed this expanded access to reduced server load during the holiday period, as many people take breaks from work. This move comes after initial demand for Sora exceeded expectations, forcing OpenAI to temporarily restrict new user sign-ups.
Sora, a standalone AI video generator, allows users to create videos based on text prompts, with the ability to specify details frame-by-frame. This technology has sparked controversy, with some artists accusing OpenAI of exploiting their work and falsely portraying Sora as an artist-friendly tool.
Despite the controversy, OpenAI’s decision to grant unlimited access to Sora during the holidays provides an opportunity for ChatGPT Plus users to explore the capabilities of this AI video generator.
