Sora (via) OpenAI's released their long-threatened Sora text-to-video model this morning, available in most non-European countries to subscribers to ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) or Pro ($200/month).
Here's what I got for the very first test prompt I ran through it:
A pelican riding a bicycle along a coastal path overlooking a harbor
The Pelican inexplicably morphs to cycle in the opposite direction half way through, but I don't see that as a particularly significant issue: Sora is built entirely around the idea of directly manipulating and editing and remixing the clips it generates, so the goal isn't to have it produce usable videos from a single prompt.
