A viral video has captured the internet’s attention, blending humor and amazement. In the video, Sam Altman is seen sprinting away with sketches from Studio Ghibli, while Hayao Miyazaki himself is chasing the OpenAI CEO.
The clip isn’t real; it was entirely generated using Sora 2, OpenAI’s “most powerful imagination engine ever built.” It converts simple text prompts into hyper-realistic, fully animated videos complete with synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and lifelike motion.
Sam Altman’s OpenAI claims Sora 2 enables users to transform text prompts into highly realistic videos, complete with precise motion, synchronized dialogue, and integrated sound.
Unlike earlier systems, which produced smooth but artificial-looking animation, Sora 2 offers greater physical accuracy and control. This creates videos that feel strikingly lifelike. The app aims to democratize video creation, helping both casual users and professionals bring their ideas to life.
The clip has triggered a wave of responses on X (formerly Twitter), from humor to lighthearted criticism:
“Love all the Altman theft vids from Sora 2. Maybe Sora 2 can show him talking about how he planned to ditch the open source part of OpenAI and make it a for-profit company. Because that would be...funny. Ummm,” wrote one user.
“He’s gotta make real Open AI content now, we need to see this side come to life,” another said.
“It has seriously opened the floodgates. It’s a beautiful thing,” another post read.
“He is now probably the most valuable IP, given that the majority of people are now making videos around him only,” another user contributed.
Such reactions reveal how AI-generated content is rapidly becoming a cultural phenomenon, with screen users increasingly concocting humorous, imaginative, and sometimes satirical juxtapositions of actual-world figures.
OpenAI claims Sora 2 is easier to control and more realistic than its predecessors. Users can create videos complete with synchronized audio, dialogue, and sound effects, enabling accurate storytelling and creative experimentation.
The advanced realism of the tool enables the pursuit of a vast array of content, ranging from short humorous bits to more complex narrative work.
Sora 2 is now available via the Sora app. The AI model was initially invite-only on iOS in the US and Canada, with an international rollout planned. The app allows people to make, share, and discover AI-created videos. It aims to build a community where creativity, exploration, and experimentation meet.
