Google launched its “state-of-the-art Veo 3 model”, and this new technology has taken social media by storm. People cannot stop generating videos that look realistic enough to be passed as real. People are choosing various subjects to create the videos - from standup comedians to street interviews. A series of videos showing news anchors giving ridiculous information in a serious tone is the latest inclusion in the list - it has spread both amusement and concerns among social media users.
“General population is cooked. You can literally create news clips with Veo-3 now, what’s even real anymore?” an X user wrote and shared a video. It is generated with the prompt, “Generate a British TV news anchor saying: In shocking news, Jake Kaye Rowe Ling’s yacht sank with her on board after being attacked by orcas off the coast of Turkey.”
