OpenAI Shows First Professional Shorts Created by Sora

OpenAI’s tool Sora has garnered attention from visual artists and filmmakers worldwide, promising to redefine the creative process.

OpenAI unveiled text-to-video AI Sora only in February. The tool is still in the testing stage. However, a recent experiment shows how filmmakers could use it in the near future.

The AI giant gave several filmmakers and creators access to Sora, asking them to create shorts from text prompts. Then OpenAI posted the results on its website.
