Remember that moment late last year when everyone suddenly started talking about AI video? Sora from OpenAI arrived with a loud "Wow!" showing how a neural network could generate complex scenes from text prompts. Studios, including Disney, rushed to sign deals. It felt like the industry was on the verge of a tectonic shift. OpenAI announced it was closing its AI video application. Thanked users, promised to preserve their work. And just… shut it down. Then came the news: Disney pulled out of the deal. Reminder: in December, the studio invested a billion in OpenAI and licensed its characters for use in Sora. Integration into Disney+ was planned. That's not happening now.
For Disney, this breakup isn't a catastrophe. It's a tactical pause. The studio has been eyeing AI for a while, but with its traditional caution. They need a partner who can offer control, predictability, legal clarity. OpenAI, with its constantly shifting strategy, couldn't meet those demands. Important to understand: AI video isn't disappearing. It will stay, but likely in a different form — as a tool for routine tasks, for pre visualization, for specific effects. But replacing a director, cinematographer, composer with an algorithm? Sora's fate shows that's not working yet.

Like many colleagues, I followed Sora with interest. Not because I feared competition, but because I understood: new tools always open new possibilities. Imagine if AI could generate rough orchestration sketches for a scene, and a composer would then refine them. That could speed up work, free up time for the main thing — for emotion, for melody, for that special "spark" that an algorithm can't replace.
