At first glance, the images amaze and confound: A woman strides along a city street alive with pedestrians and neon lights. A car kicks up a cloud of dust on a mountain road.
But upon closer inspection, anomalies appear: The dust plumes don’t always quite line up with the car’s rear wheels. And those pedestrians are stalking that woman like some eerie zombie horde.
This is Sora, a new tool from OpenAI that can create lifelike, minute-long videos from simple text prompts. When the company unveiled it on Feb. 15, experts hailed it as a major moment in the development of artificial intelligence. Google and Meta also have unveiled new AI video research in recent months. The race is on toward an era when anyone can almost instantly create realistic-looking videos without sophisticated CGI tools or expertise.

结尾摘录如下：
OpenAI has even bigger dreams for its tech. Researchers say AI could one day help computers understand how to navigate physical spaces or build virtual worlds that people could explore.
“There’s definitely going to be a new class of entertainment experiences,” Peebles said, predicting a future in which “the line between video game and movie might be more blurred.”
这里介绍了openai的视频生产工具的发展法向：help computers understand how to navigate physical spaces or build virtual worlds that people could explore.
举个例子说明就是将video game和movie更紧密地联系起来。the line between them become blurred将两者的界限模糊。
