Title: Google's New AI Video Tool Floods Internet With Real-Looking Clips

Google's new AI video tool, Veo 3, is being used to create hyperrealistic
videos that are now flooding the internet, terrifying viewers "with a sense
that real and fake have become hopelessly blurred," reports Axios. From the
report: Unlike OpenAI's video generator Sora, released more widely last
December, Google DeepMind's Veo 3 can include dialogue, soundtracks and sound
effects. The model excels at following complex prompts and translating
detailed descriptions into realistic videos. The AI engine abides by real-
world physics, offers accurate lip-syncing, rarely breaks continuity and
generates people with lifelike human features, including five fingers per
hand. According to examples shared by Google and from users online, the
telltale signs of synthetic content are mostly absent. In one viral example
posted on X, filmmaker and molecular biologist Hashem Al-Ghaili shows a
series of short films of AI-generated actors railing against their AI
creators and prompts. Special effects technology, video-editing apps and
camera tech advances have been changing Hollywood for many decades, but
artificially generated films pose a novel challenge to human creators. In a
promo video for Flow, Google's new video tool that includes Veo 3, filmmakers
say the AI engine gives them a new sense of freedom with a hint of eerie
autonomy. "It feels like it's almost building upon itself," filmmaker Dave
Clark says.
