OpenAI, the genius behind ChatGPT, introduced the world to Sora, its groundbreaking text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) tool, this week. The reception has been nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Social media was sent abuzz by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, who proudly exhibited the tool’s remarkable capacity to instantaneously transform text prompts into captivating video sequences.
According to OpenAI’s X account, Sora is capable of generating up to 60-second videos featuring intricately detailed scenes, dynamic camera movement, and multiple characters displaying vibrant emotions.
While Sora is not yet accessible to the general public, Altman urged users on the platform to submit prompts for videos they would like to witness.
Undeniably, the anticipation surrounding AI tools like ChatGPT and Sora has played a pivotal role in propelling the stock prices of various tech firms over the past year.
Microsoft Corp. MSFT, an investor in OpenAI, has seen a dramatic surge in its stock, soaring over 55% and currently boasting the largest market cap globally, valued at over $3 trillion. Semiconductor giants such as NVIDIA Corp NVDA and Advanced Micro Devices AMD have also reaped substantial benefits from the fervor surrounding AI.
