Researcher Peter Labuza instructed OpenAI’s Sora to generate a video of a gymnastics floor routine during a competition. The results are both amazing and surreal at the same time. Labuza was responding to artist Christopher Fryant, who was frustrated with the platform.

I'm sorry but if you make a text-to-video generator and you tell it "make a cat run through a field" *and* you give it the starting image, and the cat simply STANDS, your generator Does Not Work.

here's the "video" – again, the image created in midjourney was the starting point, and the prompt was "Snorricam fisheye footage of a cat running through a field, 4k footage, incredible colors." Tell me what did Sora actually create here that was new?
