They also just added a link to the making-of video.
It's quite early to race to the conclusion that one is better than the other when not only they are both unreleased, but especially when the demos can be edited, faked or altered to look great for optics and distortion.
EDIT: It appears there is at least one commenter who replied below that is upset with this fact above.
It is OK to cope, but the truth really doesn't care especially when the competition (Google) came out much stronger than expected with their announcements.
Distortion is easiest when the products really work. :)
The intention wasn't to show "This is what Sora can generate from start to end" but rather "This is what a video production team can do with Sora instead of shooting their own raw footage."
Maybe not so obvious to others, but for me it was clear from how the other demo videos looked.
