If you thought ChatGPT was only good for work, OpenAI has other plans this Christmas. A tiny emoji is unlocking one of the most fun AI Easter eggs of the year, a personalised Santa video starring you. Over the weekend, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman quietly hinted at the surprise with a cryptic post on X, telling users to try ChatGPT with just one emoji.

The tone depends entirely on the AI, which makes the surprise even more entertaining. How to make your own Santa video Here’s how you can try it:

By blending text, images, and video, OpenAI is hinting at a future where AI conversations are far more interactive and not always serious.
