00:00Toys R Us just debuted the first commercial created using OpenAI's video-to-text program,
00:05Sora, and the internet is not having it.
00:08Toys R Us closed every single one of its stores back in 2018 after failing to pull itself
00:13out of bankruptcy.
00:15But in 2022, the nostalgic and loved toy store made a bit of a brick-and-mortar comeback
00:20by opening over 400 shops in Macy's stores around the country.
00:24However, Toys R Us is not even close to being back at its former glory, so it makes sense
00:29that they would want to try their luck with a cheap advertisement using Sora AI.
00:33While there were a few people excited to see the first Sora commercial and were happy with
00:38the way it came out, the vast majority of social media users were shocked, and not in
00:43the good way.
00:44This user wrote,
00:45Nope.
00:46I don't like this.
00:47One bit.
00:48Looks like a fever dream.
00:49Another chimed in,
00:50God.
00:51It looks so weird and gross and uncanny.
00:52Oh God.
00:53The further into it I get, the more viscerally upsetting it is.
00:56What is wrong with that child's face?
00:58And this user, who likely works in the film industry, turned his dislike for the commercial
01:02into a positive, writing,
01:04Okay.
01:05Our jobs are still safe.
01:06FU.
