What’s Sora? (Think: Magic Video Genie 🧞♂️)
Imagine telling a robot, “Hey, make me a 10-second video of a raccoon DJ spinning tracks in Times Square at midnight.” Boom! Sora listens and poof—makes it happen.
It’s basically OpenAI’s latest magic trick where you type out what you want to see, and it cooks up a short video from scratch. No cameras, no actors, just pure AI sorcery.
But heads up—it’s still learning, so sometimes your raccoon might moonwalk instead of DJ, or Times Square might look like a cartoon playground. That’s the charm (and comedy) of AI video!

Pro Tips from Your AI Buddy 🤖
Be specific, or it gets weird.
Say “sunset with glowing fireflies,” not just “night.” Otherwise, you might get blinking disco balls instead of fireflies.
Start short, keep it snappy.
Ten seconds max is a good warm-up — any longer and the AI gets cranky (and so does your patience).
Expect goofy glitches.
AI’s still figuring out physics and reality, so sometimes people might float, objects might blink in and out, or raccoons DJ like they’re on a rollercoaster.

You don’t wanna get in trouble because your AI cowboy taco star is actually someone else’s photo.
