OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in his usual mysterious style, hinted at a new feature via X (Twitter), and users quickly discovered this “Easter Egg” (hidden surprise). Now, by simply sending a single emoji to ChatGPT, you can get a personalized Christmas video created by OpenAI’s revolutionary video AI, Sora.

Create Your Personalized “Sora” Video with Just One Emoji!

Step-by-Step: Create Your Personalized Christmas Video

• Start with an Emoji: Start a new chat with ChatGPT and send just one gift package (🎁) emoji.
• Upload a Selfie: In response to the emoji, ChatGPT will ask you to upload a selfie or take a photo on the spot.
• Let Sora’s Magic Work: After sending the photo, ChatGPT will transfer the data to the Sora model.
• Sora; Sora will combine the photo you upload with details ChatGPT knows about you based on your past interactions to create a fun, personalized Christmas video.

The most interesting (and perhaps riskiest) aspect of this experience is that you can’t interfere with the video’s content. You don’t have a choice in the aesthetic details, the theme, or what happens in the video. Sora, based on the data it receives from ChatGPT, produces a completely original and usually humorous result.

For now, this feature seems like a “one-time” gift. Even if you start a new chat and send the 🎁 emoji again, the system will present you with the same video created before, instead of generating a different one. Therefore, the quality of the photo you send and your “relationship” with ChatGPT directly determines how impressive the result will be.
