Sora by OpenAI: This new AI conjures videos out of thin air

The mammoths look really good. The fur billows with every step, individual hairs stick out from the ears into the light of the winter sun, and notches on the tusks show wear and tear. At first glance you might assume that the excerpt was filmed with a camera (if you forget for a moment that mammoths are extinct).

The ten seconds of video material are actually generated by artificial intelligence (AI). More precisely: from Sora, a system that the company OpenAI presented on Thursday. It can apparently produce videos based only on short text input. Such systems are the evolution of AI image generators such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Dall-E. The latter also comes from OpenAI.
