Google’s Veo 3 AI Tool Sparks Buzz with Ultra-Realistic Video Creations

Google has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence tool, Veo 3, capable of generating hyper-realistic video content that is already causing a stir across social media platforms.

Announced at the Google I/O event on Tuesday, Veo 3 can create videos that include dialogue, background music, and sound effects. The tool is currently available to users in the United States subscribed to the $249-per-month Google AI Ultra plan.

The launch follows the rising popularity of OpenAI’s video generator, Sora, but Google’s Veo 3 is drawing attention for its lifelike output and strong command of visual detail. According to Google, the model was “informed by our work with creators and filmmakers.”

In one viral clip shared by filmmaker and molecular biologist Hashem Al-Ghaili, viewers were stunned as AI-generated characters appeared to question their own existence. The post quickly circulated on X, adding to the growing interest in AI-generated media.

Veo 3 is designed to follow real-world physics, maintain continuity between frames, and produce digital humans with anatomically accurate features. Many viewers have reported difficulty distinguishing Veo 3’s content from actual footage captured with a camera.

Despite the tool’s impressive capabilities, some creators have expressed concern. While filmmakers featured in Google’s promotional video praised the creative freedom it offers, others worry about the implications for originality and artistic control. “It feels like it’s almost building upon itself,” filmmaker Dave Clark said in the promo.

There have also been questions about how the tool was trained. Reports suggest that in some cases, Veo 3 has produced repeated content — such as identical jokes or visuals resembling well-known YouTubers’ setups — raising concerns about data sourcing and content originality.

As AI-generated videos become more realistic, industry professionals are now facing new challenges around copyright, creative authorship, and ethical use of synthetic media.
