'Sora' Memes Go Viral After Sam Altman's AI-made Videos Leave Internet in Shock

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman caused a stir online by unveiling the company’s latest AI marvel, Sora, a model capable of crafting entire one-minute videos from mere text prompts. It’s almost like stepping into a world where the fantastical becomes visual reality, fulfilling your wildest and most improbable imaginings in a snap.

But wait, hasn’t this fantastical spectacle graced our screens before? Indeed, films have long whisked us away to worlds where the absurd reigns supreme, where giants roam and time bends to whimsy. So, when Sora made its grand entrance, echoes of past cinematic marvels filled the air, reminding us that the line between imagination and reality is as thin as a pixel.

“An Indian man grows into a huge giant at multiple locations in the world doing unhinged things.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? A nod to Bollywood’s penchant for grandeur and the fantastical. And so, the floodgates opened, unleashing a torrent of prompts, each more outlandish than the last, all underscored by the chorus of “Sora is amazing.”

Take, for instance, “a video of a girl playing basketball with a football in tennis dress on a golf course” – a classic Karishma Kapoor moment for you. Or the prompt for a romantic action film brimming with emotions and a climactic twist.

But let’s not forget, these prompts were just the beginning of a wave of memes that humourously highlighted how surreal and absurd our world can be, with or without Sora’s help.

Undoubtedly, the introduction of OpenAI’s Sora model has stirred excitement across the internet. Yet, YouTuber Marques Brownlee, also known as MKBHD, rightfully cautions about potential misuses. “Every single one of these videos is AI-generated, and if this doesn’t concern you at least a little bit, nothing will,” he remarked, sharing examples of Sora’s creations.

While the OpenAI Sora model’s capabilities are undeniably impressive, a degree of wariness is warranted. The ease with which it transforms text into video could easily lead to misuse. Recall the viral AI-generated video of Will Smith eating spaghetti in early 2023? Sora represents a significant leap from that, heightening the need for vigilance.

Thus, in the words of Einstein himself, “Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” With Sora, that power has never been more tangible—or potentially perilous.
