Azure Open AI Service generating videos and animations for given textual description

Question

It is good to see DALL-E service that comes up with images for given textual description. Are there plans for a similar service that comes up with videos or even short animations for given textual description? If so, what is the timeframe? If not, what are the challenges including technological ones?

Hello @Sameer Mahajan

Thanks for reaching out to us, there is no plan currently for the feature you mentioned at this moment. The current difficulty as far as I know - complexity, compute resource limitations, also fake use concern.

However, this is an area of active research in the field of artificial intelligence, and it's possible that such a service could be developed in the future.

One of the main challenges in developing a service that generates videos or animations based on textual descriptions is the complexity of the task. Unlike generating images, which can be done by generating a single static image, generating videos or animations requires generating a sequence of images that are coherent and consistent with the textual description. This requires not only generating individual frames, but also ensuring that the frames are consistent with each other and with the overall narrative of the video or animation.

Another challenge is the computational resources required to generate videos or animations. Generating a single image can be computationally intensive, but generating a sequence of images requires even more resources. This means that developing a service that generates videos or animations would require significant computational resources, which could be a barrier to entry for some organizations.

Finally, there are also ethical considerations to take into account when developing a service that generates videos or animations. For example, there are concerns about the potential misuse of such a service for creating deepfakes or other forms of disinformation. These concerns would need to be addressed in order to ensure that the service is used responsibly and ethically.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
