Why Google's Veo 3 has the internet worried after AI-generated news videos go viral
Tech behemoth Google has unveiled a powerful new AI video creation platform called Flow, launched during its annual I/O 2025 developer conference. The tool, which amalgamates the capabilities of Google's advanced generative models — Veo, Imagen, and Gemini — is now accessible to select users in the United States. Flow enables creators to produce short-form video content simply by typing natural language prompts. Building upon its earlier experimental project, VideoFX, Google describes Flow as a creative hub that allows users to generate, edit, and organise cinematic scenes with an emphasis on consistency and creative control. The announcement has stirred considerable excitement — and unease — across social media platforms, with users sharing a deluge of AI-generated clips ranging from comedic sketches to faux news broadcasts. One viral post on X captured the public's growing apprehension. 'General population is cooked. You can literally create news clips with Veo-3 now, what's even real anymore?' the user wrote, accompanying the post with a disturbingly realistic video. The clip, 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,' raised eyebrows over the potential for AI-generated misinformation. Another video from the same thread featured an artificial reporter announcing an imaginary feline coup at Buckingham Palace — a surreal scenario that many found both humorous and alarming. Reactions to the realism of Veo 3's outputs have been sharply divided. While some users hailed the technology as a leap forward for digital storytelling, others voiced concerns over the blurred line between truth and fabrication. Comments ranged from admiration — 'Wow, I thought that was real just by looking' — to stark warnings: 'Welcome to the new world of misinformation.' One user summarised the crux of the dilemma, stating:'The ability to differentiate false and truth — basically a sound mind.' With the power to create hyper-realistic video content now at users' fingertips, the debate over the implications of synthetic media is only just beginning.

‘General population is cooked': Eerily realistic videos of AI reporters created using Google Veo 3 raise red flags
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.' In another video on the same post, an AI generated reporter informs people about a feline takeover of Buckingham Palace. People are both amused and sceptical. While some remarked that it is a significant leap in terms of the development of artificial intelligence, others argued that it will increase the spreading of misinformation and fake news. An individual posted, 'OMG! Literally fake news.' Another added, 'Wow, I thought that was real just by looking.' A third remarked, 'Welcome to the new world of misinformation.' A fourth wrote, 'The ability to differentiate false and truth, basically a sound mind.' According to its official website, Veo 3 has greater 'realism and fidelity'. It is capable of including 4k output, besides real-world physics and audio. This new tech is designed to give more accurate responses to the user's prompts. 'Veo 3 lets you add sound effects, ambient noise, and even dialogue to your creations – generating all audio natively. It also delivers best in class quality, excelling in physics, realism and prompt adherence,' the site states.
