What Is Veo 3? New AI Video Tool, Explained & How It Connects to Filmmaking
Google announced Veo 3. What's next for AI-generated content? AI-movies might be closer than we think.
It would be a crime to discuss this new AI model without mentioning Black Mirror. But is it true? Will machines replace genuine human expression in the near future? Well, the answer is not an easy one. Let's figure it out.
What Is Veo 3 and Why Google Has So Much Faith in It?
“Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing. It's great at understanding; you can tell a short story in your prompt, and the model gives you back a clip that brings it to life,” Google said in their recent announcement.
In other words, if you can dream it, Veo 3 can probably make it. U.S. users who subscribe to Gemini's Ultra can access Veo 3 through the Gemini app or Flow platform.
The demos for Veo 3 Google has shown are honestly pretty impressive. Check this one out for yourself. Do we already feel like we’re in a Black Mirror episode?
Fans Have a Few Words to Say About Veo 3
Opinions about Veo 3 and AI in general are very divided. Some think this marks the beginning of the end for filmmaking, while others say nothing will ever compare to what a real person can create.
“Pixar and Dreamworks had a good 30 years long run at least,” Redditor Kanute3333 wrote.
“I am convinced that at some point within the next ~5 years or so (I think less based on current progress but idk the future), we can get a model or set of tools that can more or less generate an entire, "good", movie, TV show, or game for you. When that happens, why would I continue watching whatever Hollywood produces if I can generate quality content for my personal niche interests?” Redditor funky2002 said.
“I don't even understand why people are excited about this technology. I would rather go back to shit flash animation on newgrounds forever than watch 5 mins of soulless computer generated slop,” Redditor nothankslmgood pointed out.
Veo 3: A Conversation About AI in Filmmaking
While it will still be a few years before the fully AI-generated movie sees the light of day, none of us doubt that it will happen. And there likely will be an existing divide between those who think it has a reason to be and those who are strongly against it.
