I called AI video a dumb toy until I saw the new Sora clips

For a long time, I thought AI video was just for making weird, glitchy memes. Then I saw the sample videos from OpenAI's Sora project, like that one of the golden retriever puppies playing in the snow. The way the light hit the fur and the snow moved looked so real it totally flipped my view. Has anyone else had their mind changed by a specific AI demo?

Oh my gosh, YES. I felt the exact same way. I wrote it all off as a silly gimmick until I saw that video of the woman walking down a Tokyo street at night. The reflections in the puddles and the neon signs just looked so perfect. It completely stopped me in my tracks and made me rethink everything. That demo was a total game changer for me.

Exactly! That Tokyo demo was the turning point for me too, @karent75. It wasn't just the big reflections, but the tiny details. Like the way the light from a sign bled onto her coat sleeve, or how you could see a faint, wobbly version of a building in a shallow puddle. It felt alive, not just shiny. That's what sold me, seeing the tech capture the messy, beautiful feel of a real place.
