Kunal Shah acknowledged Sam Altman's response with a 'like'.

Kunal Shah, founder and CEO of fintech unicorn Cred, got a response from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman on Thursday, after the Bengaluru-based entrepreneur asked for a specific video generated using OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora.

Sora would allow users to create realistic videos with a simple text prompt. The tool is not publicly available yet.

Altman, 38, took to X, seeking responses from users on Sora-generated videos that they would like to see. He asked his followers to reply with the specific caption for the videos they wanted to be generated.

Among the thousands of people who replied was Kunal Shah.

“A bicycle race on ocean with different animals as athletes riding the bicycles with drone camera view,” he wrote, sharing the video he wanted to see.

Sam Altmanresponded to Shah’s request with a video generated using Sora, matching what Shah had written. The stunning 10-second clip shows penguins and dolphins race on ocean on bicycles.

Shah acknowledged the video with a ‘like’.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT and image generator DALL-E, said it was testing Sora but released a few videos of what it said was already possible, with the accompanying input made to generate the video.

"Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user's prompt," OpenAI said in a blog post.

The artificial intelligence (AI) firm said it's engaging with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.

"We are working with red teamers, domain experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content and bias, who will be adversarially testing the model," the company said.

"We're also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora."
