Google’s Veo 3 AI video generator is a slop monger’s dream

Google’s Veo 3 AI video generator is a slop monger’s dream

Even at first glance, there’s something off about the body on the street. The white sheet it’s under is a little too clean, and the officers’ movements are totally devoid of purpose. “We need to clear the street,” one of them says with a firm hand gesture, though her lips don’t move. It’s AI, alright. But here’s the kicker: my prompt didn’t include any dialogue. Veo 3, Google’s new AI video generation model, added that line all on its own. Over the past 24 hours I’ve created a dozen clips depicting news reports, disasters, and goofy cartoon cats with convincing audio — some of which the model invented all on its own. It’s more than a little creepy and way more sophisticated than I had imagined. And while I don’t think it’s going to propel us to a misinformation doomsday just yet, Veo 3 strikes me as an absolute AI slop machine. Google introduced Veo 3 at I/O this week, highlighting its most important new capability: generating sound to go with your AI video. “We’re …

Google Introduces Veo and Imagen 3 to AI Platform

Published by Webster

Two new Google generative AI models, Veo and Imagen 3, are now available on the cloud hosting service Vertex AI. Veo generates videos, and Imagen 3 creates photos. Google proposes these models could be used in marketing, e-commerce, and more. Veo builds video from text or image prompts After companies like OpenAI experimented with video generation to mixed success earlier this year, infrastructure and processing power have caught up and made video generation more practical. Just this week, Amazon introduced a video-generation model called Amazon Nova Reels on AWS. Veo creates videos from text or image prompts and can add elements to existing videos. Google addressed common challenges in video-generation AI, such as maintaining continuity and avoiding unnatural-looking movement. This effort followed OpenAI’s February Sora demonstration, which highlighted issues such as bizarre movements, including surreal examples featuring wolves. Veo can generate images over a minute long at 1080p resolution, and longer videos can include multiple scenes generated from sequential prompts. Veo can replicate different art styles, as shown by this video, generated entirely by the …
