To his surprise, Lu Ban found that the object made of silk and bamboo strips (竹条) could be opened and closed easily. It was light, beautiful and easy to carry. Lu Ban said, “You win.

Sora can also make scenes (场景) with lots of people doing different things with clear details. It knows how things should look in real life as well. Sora watches many videos and learns from them by breaking them into very small pieces. It uses these pieces to make a new video. The new video is gray at first and very messy (乱糟糟的) — you can’t tell what’s in it. Then, Sora fixes the video until it looks good and smooth. Sora also gets help from ChatGPT, which turns the user’s short sentences into clear orders. This helps Sora make the video just as you asked. Sora may find “busy” pictures hard to understand. For example, when a person moves, things around them change. In one video created by Sora, a grandma was walking. Sora may not be able to tell “left” leg from “right” leg because she was moving.
