Google just dropped its latest AI video model, Veo 3, and the internet’s already gone full Spielberg with it.
The synthetic videos coming out of this thing? Absolutely bonkers. The realism is creeping into “wait… is this real?” territory, and it’s messing with people’s heads.
Case in point: Laszlo Gaal whipped up a clip of folks milling around a car show, and honestly, you’d swear it was filmed on a Sunday afternoon in Midwestern suburbia.
Before you ask: yes, everything is AI here. The video and sound both coming from a single text prompt using #Veo3 by @GoogleDeepMind .Whoever is cooking the model, let him cook! Congrats @Totemko and the team for the Google I/O live stream and the new Veo site! pic.twitter.com/sxZuvFU49s

Now, while that car show scene is basically AI cosplaying as professional footage, things take a delightful left turn with the next video – a classroom of Baby Boomers getting schooled on Gen Z slang. It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and weirdly wholesome.

AI influencer Min Choi took to X to flex Veo 3’s muscles, dropping a reel of examples. The headliner? A tribute to the now-iconic Hawk Tuah girl, straight from the chaotic streets of viral internet stardom. No notes.

Sure, there are plenty of AI fever dreams floating around — dragons, dystopias, the usual — but the clips that really hit are the ones that stick close to real life. Like a stand-up comedian absolutely owning the stage with a live set that doesn’t exist.
Less than 24 hours ago, Google dropped Veo 3, blurring the line between reality and AI.
Its video and audio quality is so lifelike, it’s unsettling.
Here are 20 insane examples & a full guide on how to use it:

And since AI is making Hollywood panic anyway, someone went and made a full-on action movie mockup — a clear flex, and a not-so-subtle shot across Tinseltown’s bow. Who needs to pay a whole crew when you can do this?

The AI can even create sitcom episodes that don’t exist, complete with canned laughter.
Good lord, Veo-3. I keep alternating between being stunned and laughing my ass off. pic.twitter.com/sdmEHoJlBh

I can’t even begin to think of the implications of this, and all the things people are going to magically get away with.
For now, I’m just enjoying it.
