Director Tyler Perry said his $800 million studio expansion is now “indefinitely on hold” after he saw what OpenAI’s Sora program can do.

Last week, OpenAI announced its latest artificial intelligence program could turn text into video clips that are up to one minute long. According to the company, the advancement means that its AI can “understand and simulate the physical world in motion.” Perry sees this as an opportunity for the film industry but is also worried about job losses, according to an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
