This Christmas, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has brought a unique gift to ChatGPT users—personalized Christmas videos created with just a single emoji. Altman’s surprise is making the festive season extra special for AI enthusiasts around the world.
A Simple Emoji, a Personalized Video
Altman took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a hint for ChatGPT users. Along with his message, he posted a gift emoji 🎁, which acts as a prompt for ChatGPT. Users simply need to send this emoji to ChatGPT, upload a selfie, and the AI generates a personalized Christmas video using OpenAI’s video generation tool, Sora.
How It Works
The gift emoji serves as a trigger for the AI. Once sent, ChatGPT prompts the user for a selfie. Users can either upload an existing photo or click a new one. Sora then creates a short, festive animated video featuring Santa Claus, incorporating details from the user’s past interactions with ChatGPT to make the experience personal and engaging.
What’s in the Video?
The video is fully animated, with Santa Claus calling the user by name and presenting a gift. The AI can humorously comment on the user’s behavior throughout the year, sometimes praising them and other times playfully labeling them as “naughty.” The gift in the video may align with the user’s preferences—or be deliberately silly, adding a humorous twist.
Quick and Fully Automated
Each video is generated in just a few minutes. Users have no control over the style, storyline, or outcome—the process is entirely handled by Sora. Some users have also reported that other festive emojis, like 🎅 or 🎄, work similarly, enabling more creative holiday interactions.
With this simple innovation, ChatGPT brings a fun, interactive twist to the Christmas celebration, making AI a part of the holiday spirit.
