Prompt theory is probably the best Veo3 video made so far. Genuinely funny and also a bit unsettling.
Wow. It’s absolutely incredible to think about how far we’ve come.
For context, just over two years ago, in April of 2023, the state of the art video generators (which were an incredible new thing none of us had ever seen before) could generate this video of Will Smith eating spaghetti:
And now we are here:
In the Prompt video the political rally (after 50 sec) is perhaps the most interesting. You see the limits of the technology with visual glitches on some of the faces and bad spelling on the placards but even here the the ability of the AI to orchestrate a realistic crowd response is excellent. The clips with just one or two people have pretty much reached realism; I don’t think I would be able to distinguish them from real video.
Earlier I saw a video of some incredible looking video game footage which was, of course, generated by AI. The video had UI elements that responded to what was happening on the screen, the characters moved like they were being controlled by players with controllers, etc. I was trying to find this video, and I still will, but in the meantime I came across this: Fake News!
As the top comment on this YouTube video says: we are SO COOKED.
I can’t find the original video, but this one on Reddit is pretty similar:
Touching back on Sora, you can now do free Sora videos through the Bing app (but not yet in the browser).
That is some seriously crunchy spaghetti.
