[Guide] A video of Veo 3 has gone viral across the internet these days. It is so realistic and detailed that it sends chills down one’s spine, and netizens exclaimed: it has already surpassed the uncanny valley! In the past, we could distinguish between AI and reality, but at this moment, we have entered a real watershed.
The frenzy ignited by Veo 3 shows no signs of stopping.
A certain netizen's video made with Veo 3 has gone viral across the internet, and there's a high probability you've already come across it.
Imagine if AI characters refuse to believe they are AI-generated, what would happen?
The 'people' created by AI collectively shouted: "We're not prompts! We're not prompts!"
"Because we are merely spreading the fallacy that we are just 0s and 1s, this court sentences you to 12 years of federal imprisonment."
Of course, some 'people' will find some traces in this 'world.'
"In the past, we had seven fingers on each hand, I remember it clearly. But now we only have five fingers on each hand."
Imagine if AI characters suddenly discover they are living in a simulated world, what would happen then?
"One day, we must break through this barrier and stop the man who manipulates our fate with prompts. He will certainly pay the price for this!"
"You could have written a prompt that makes me happy, but instead, you wrote one that causes me pain."
Indeed, all these impactful scenes were created by Veo 3!
The characters and scenes are real, and the sound and lip-sync are a hundred percent accurate; no matter how complex the scene, the light on the characters' faces and bodies casts shadows that are almost impossible to detect flaws.
The little tricks we used to differentiate 'generated' from 'real' are almost completely ineffective here.
No wonder netizens exclaimed: this has already surpassed the uncanny valley!
If this continues, 2026 will be a chilling year.
Virtual or real? It can no longer be distinguished.
Why does this talk show generated by Veo 3 cause such a sensational effect?
Sharp-eyed netizens analyzed that for them, this video could achieve a realism level of 95%.
Previous AI videos could barely be recognized as artificially generated. But for some reason, this video has completely passed his 'uncanny valley test' automatically.
Perhaps largely due to the fact that the lighting generated by Veo is incredibly realistic.
Some have summarized that Veo 3 has become a true watershed, a real historical turning point.
Before this, we could easily distinguish between AI-generated photos, videos, and reality, but with the advent of Veo 3, all of that has been shattered!
Just this week, with the release of Veo 3, everything changed, and humanity has completely entered the 'blurred era.'
Someone commented that among all the scenes in this video, the outdoor selfie stick guy is the most convincing.
Whether it's the faded lighting, low-resolution selfie camera effect, or the man's facial appearance, everything is impeccable.
In the glaring sunlight, he even squints like an ordinary person.
Moreover, one major advancement of Veo 3 is that it portrays everyone very realistically—they look like ordinary people you would encounter on the street, unlike previous AIs whose generated characters resembled supermodels.
Why does Veo 3 perform so well?
Some have analyzed that this is all thanks to YouTube owned by Google, allowing them to easily use millions of videos to train AI models, with as many as they need, resulting in superior performance compared to others.
The frightening part is that if this continues, video and audio evidence will no longer be credible, and the judicial system will become extremely fragile.
The craziest part is that it has only been 5 months since the release of Veo 2. And when Veo 4 comes out, there might still be a 95% to 99% improvement.
At that time, most people might truly be unable to distinguish AI videos with the naked eye, and they might even look more realistic than actual recorded footage!
When the singularity truly approaches, we will see the 'structure of reality' begin to distort.
Is this moment really about to arrive?
