If you think ChatGPT was revolutionary, get ready to get your mind blown.

Remember the ruckus between openAI's Sam Altman and OpenAI, that was one occasion that placed OpenAI in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Did you happen to hear the gist? I wrote about it, check it out here. Back to the main topic, OpenAI is here once more with something new, different, original, and revolutionary. I know I sound like an excited fanboy right now, truth is I really am excited, perhaps you've seen a couple of deep fake videos, with the camera fixed in one position and a couple of realistic facial features and ear, eye and mouth movement, this is way more than that.

OpenAi has just given us an insight into a new AI they've been working on, an AI that generates a 60-second-long video from user prompts. Here's why it is worth the hype, to name a few:

• Hyper-realistic characters

• Hyper-realistic motion/movement of different characters and objects/particles

• Hyper-realistic lightning

• Hyper-realistic camera movements

• Hyper-realistic character emotions

You tell me, what makes an amazing video if not all of the above listed, let's all remember we're talking about AI-generated video here, the characters, motion, and lightning look like something straight out of Unreal Engine 5 on steroids, being run on Microsoft supercomputer, it's that amazing. In case you're still in doubt, check the below screenshots from videos created by Sora(name of AI).

Prompt: A beautiful homemade video showing the people of Lagos, Nigeria in the year 2056. Shot with a mobile phone camera.

Prompt: A stylish woman walks down a Tokyo street filled with warm glowing neon and animated city signage. She wears a black leather jacket, a long red dress, and black boots, and carries a black purse. She wears sunglasses and red lipstick. She walks confidently and casually. The street is damp and reflective, creating a mirror effect of the colorful lights. Many pedestrians walk about.

Prompt: Aerial view of Santorini during the blue hour, showcasing the stunning architecture of white Cycladic buildings with blue domes. The caldera views are breathtaking, and the lighting creates a beautiful, serene atmosphere.

Unfortunately, I can't attach a video without hosting it on sites like YouTube or Vimeo, These screenshots are but an abstraction of the divinity created by the company; OpenAI.

The purpose of this post is to get you excited, I hope you are, and get ready, for openAI engineers are still cooking, and this is nothing compared to what is to come.
