AI-generated videos are becoming more difficult to distinguish from reality. We already have fake YouTubers playing Fortnite and Minecraft
Veo 3's new generative artificial intelligence model can create YouTubers playing games. Distinguishing real videos from artificial ones is becoming increasingly difficult.
Artificial intelligence may scare us or not, but there's no denying its incredibly fast development. Recently created videos prove that in the future, entire gameplays could be created, with the added commentary from online "creators."
AI YouTuber?
Recently, Google presented the latest models of AI, but one of them attracted particular attention. Veo 3 is used to generate high-quality videos, characterized by great realism. It allows you to create complex sequences and also adds background sounds and dialogues to recordings at the same time.

Their impressive accuracy is immediately noticeable, especially in the case of the material from Fortnite, making it difficult to distinguish them from reality at times.
Of course, there are still errors present, such as the increasing number of breads in the inventory, despite cutting down a tree. However, I wouldn't be surprised if a less observant person took them for real.
How do you tell them apart?
The end result is pretty impressive, although it's not entirely positive. A lot of people are concerned about the pace of artificial intelligence development and predict the end of creativity or the beginning of the era of the dead internet.
Pack up, boys, the internet is over.
Rest in peace creativity and originality. We will miss you.
Some also point out that they are having more and more trouble distinguishing between real videos and those generated by AI. They fear that this will lead, among other things, to a complete lack of trust in the materials watched.
I was able to feel some uncanny valley feeling while watching AI videos a couple years ago. That feeling is still there, however it has become less and less within a mere 2 years. There's going to be a point where it's no longer going to be so obvious.
