The 'nightmare' from Google's new AI video creation.

At the Google I/O 2025 event, Google shocked the tech world by introducing its AI video creation model called Veo 3, marking a major step forward for the tech giant into a highly controversial field.

According to The Verge reporter Allison Johnson, the most sophisticated aspect of Veo 3 is its ability to create original audio for each video, from sound effects and background noise to character dialogue.

"Veo 3 impressed me as a machine that absolutely creates 'junk' AI content," commented a reporter from The Verge .

Google's new AI-powered video generator is causing a sensation with its high level of realism. According to The Verge reporter Allison Johnson, the most sophisticated aspect of Veo 3 is its ability to create original audio for each video, from sound effects and background noise to character dialogue.

New features and shocking level of realism.

"We are entering a new era of creativity," explained Josh Woodward, Google's Gemini Vice President, in his Veo 3 launch presentation, highlighting its ability to create "extremely realistic" video.

Johnson was initially skeptical, but after personally experiencing the AI tool, she confirmed that Woodward wasn't exaggerating. Veo 3 is capable of creating frighteningly realistic products.

Specifically, a reporter from The Verge tried creating a short video of a news anchor announcing a fire. The clip was incredibly convincing, with sound and visuals similar to any traditional news broadcast.

Soon after, the post, which included a series of videos featuring AI-generated characters protesting the commands used to create the AI-powered videos, garnered 50,000 likes on Reddit. The scenes included a disaster, a woman lying in a hospital bed using a breathing tube, and a character being threatened with a gun—all with spoken dialogue and realistic background sounds.

Compared to other AI video creation tools, Veo 3 has made things much simpler. All it takes is a basic command, a few minutes for the platform to process, and a subscription to Google's AI Ultra plan ( $249.99 per month).

Johnson even found it easier to create videos using less specific commands, and that proves one thing: Veo 3 excels at creating the kind of YouTube content with the lowest common denominator for children.

Ending the “silent film era”

To date, no AI video creation model has been able to simultaneously provide synchronized audio, or any type of audio to accompany the video output. However, Veo 3 – with its ability to create synchronized audio – is aiming to end the “silent film era.”

"We are emerging from the silent era of video creation," Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said at a press conference.

The widespread availability of tools for building video creators has led to an explosion of vendors to the point where this space is becoming saturated.

From startups like Runway, Lightricks, Genmo, Pika, Higgsfield, Kling, and Luma, to tech giants like OpenAI and Alibaba, models are being released at a rapid pace. In many cases, there is little difference between these models.

It remains unclear whether Veo 3 can surpass OpenAI Sora in video quality. However, simply being able to export fully produced video clips with both image and sound could immediately make Veo 3 a more attractive platform.

"In the world of film and television, background noise and sound effects are usually the work of artists. Now, imagine if all you had to do was describe to Veo the sound you want in the background and tied to the action, and it would output everything, including video and dialogue. This is work that animators would take weeks or months to complete," Johnson commented.

If Veo 3 can truly follow commands and output hours of consistent video and audio, it won't be long before we have the first animated film created entirely with AI.

Immediately after Veo 3 was released, creators began sharing clips on platforms like X, most notably a stand-up comedy video created entirely by AI. Viewers were surprised to learn that the entire scene, including voiceovers, video, and even audience sounds, was generated from a single written command.

Then, another clip went viral, recreating Pythagoras explaining his famous theorem, complete with an ancient setting and accurate dialogue. There was even a music video entirely produced by Veo 3, where both the visuals and music were perfectly synchronized.

The Economic Times commented that this type of technology could be called "a new era of filmmaking," allowing anyone—from individual creators to large media studios—to produce professional content at low cost and with minimal resources.
