Unfortunately you're mistaken, Sora is not Google it's OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman was taking live requests on xitter and posting back the outputs and they were just as impressive as the "cherry picked" video, that's not to say they weren't without issue, but the technology just improves. It's currently worse than at any point in the future, but it will get better

Oh geez, my bad, I thought it was Google.

I trust OpenAIs demos more for largely the reason you mentioned, they have tended to be more transparent about the downsides of their products before.

Fair enough!

And even if it was Google, these companies aren't magic. Once there's a proof of concept out there that something like this can be done other companies will dump resources into catching up with it. Cue the famous "we have no moat" memo.

worth keeping in mind that it would be just as easy to have employees set up a twitter account to submit 'oh yeah sick make this' and post a cherry picked video that way, but i've not seen anything.

I wont be checking twitter lol

I wouldn't say the live requests were as good as the live demo https://x.com/sama/status/1758206987094147252?s=20

Its definitely impressive, but I still haven't had a success story with generating pictures using dalle/gemini/adobe. It's possible I'm not good at making prompts, but it's definitely not exactly ready even for stock photos.
