PEOPLE have been left "terrified" by a series of seemingly ordinary videos.
But can you tell what's wrong with them in 30 seconds?
"Im watching every video on that website in disbelief," one X user wrote after discovering the truth behind them.
"This is wild," another person wrote.
Well, the truth is none of these clips are real - they were all made by AI.
OpenAI, the company that shocked with the world with ChatGPT, has unleashed a more advanced version that can now generate videos.

Much like previous models that generate images, all a person has to do is describe in writing what they want and the AI will instantly create it.
The tech - known as Sora, the Japanese word for “sky” - can produce realistic footage up to a minute long.

"Interestingly, OpenAI plans to watermark Sora's outputs with C2PA, a digital certification system that is growing in popularity as a means to track the provenance of information."
