You are created by AI

When I first came across the concept of interviewing random people on the street with an intriguing and unconventional prompt like "You are created by AI," I realized how powerful and thought-provoking such an experiment could be. These candid moments reveal not only people’s spontaneous emotional responses but also their underlying beliefs about identity and technology. Using the Sora App, which was a novel platform launched in 2025 for creating AI-driven videos, I was amazed at how quickly it allowed users to craft content that challenges perceptions. The reactions I captured ranged from laughter, skepticism, confusion, to genuine bewilderment. It strikes me how deeply ingrained our ideas of self and reality are, that being told something so surreal causes immediate disbelief. This experience highlights a broader topic about society’s relationship with AI — many of us admire its potentials but also fear its implications, especially when AI blurs the lines between fact and fiction. Watching people confront the suggestion that their entire existence might be artificial opened up conversations about consciousness and what it truly means to be human. I also found reflecting on the Sora App’s lifecycle poignant since it was once a promising AI creation tool but is now disappearing. It reminds me of the fast pace at which AI technology evolves and the importance of documenting these early interactions while the platform was active. For those interested in AI, human psychology, or social experiments, such content presents a unique lens to explore how we process new realities shaped by technological advancement. It also underscores the importance of clear communication about AI’s role in our lives to avoid misunderstandings and fear, fostering more informed and open discussions about the future.
