Sora's "Nightmare World": 25% of AI Video Generations Still Glitch Into Incoherence

A Sora user reports that roughly one in four video generations "glitch up pretty hard" into what they call "Nightmare World" — highlighting persistent reliability problems in AI video.

OpenAI's Sora video generation tool still produces severely glitched outputs roughly 25% of the time, according to @AlfredAlfer77, who says they wish they could train the model locally to address the issue. The user describes these failure modes as "Nightmare World" — outputs that degrade into incoherent, often disturbing visual artifacts.
