Gemini Omni is missing something…
Oh yeah… personality.
Sora 2 nailed down character personalities wonderfully! It got the tones, facial expressions, attitudes, etc. down to a science where the characters felt real and alive.
I generated this video using Gemini Omni. There’s no background ambience, the characters sound so monotone, the script is just so blah, they’re pausing in awkward spots, etc. It’s just so vanilla.
Sora 2 was magical. I hope that one day there’s either an equivalent or some better out there.
Edit: Gemini Omni is only available to paid Google AI subscribers… but I wouldn’t exactly call it a subscription perk.
