Arguing that the company was using them as “PR puppets” without pay, the artists created a web page allowing anyone to make AI videos using Sora. OpenAI has granted hundreds of artists free access to the video generation tool so that they can test the new artificial intelligence video generator. However, 20 of these artists claimed that the company profited from their unpaid work. This is what the group of artists wrote on Hugging Face, an open source repository for artificial intelligence projects.
“Hundreds of artists provide unpaid labor through bug testing, feedback, and experimental work for the program of a company valued at $150 billion.”
The artists further added that the opportunities offered in exchange for helping the company, such as selection for the screening of their Sora-created films, provide “minimal compensation that pales in comparison to the substantial value public relations and marketing that OpenAI receives. The tool was public three hours before it closed. OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix said the company has temporarily shut down user access to Sora while it reviews the situation.
“Hundreds of artists from our alpha release have shaped the development of Sora, helping to prioritize new features and safeguards. Participation is voluntary, with no obligation to provide feedback or use the tool.
