If Veo3 was trained on YouTube, as most sources seem to suggest, wouldn’t it mean that Google just turned its “valued” YouTube creators (at least those who were uploading non-adversarial video, which is most of them in all likelihood) into content producers for a tool designed to replace them? What about YouTube Music—is Google headed towards trillion-dollar lawsuits a la Suno and the like?

We could probably (now) trace a purely domain-agnostic path from "I need to understand subject-matter experts" to "It's just data for machine-learning."

Seeing total video automation is incredible. It's the most compelling reason yet to avoid the infinite treadmill.

Who will provide new data, once the incentives are eliminated?

I’m still waiting for the first compelling piece of computer generated literature or cinema.

I’d say art but for many, generated pictures are amazing so I’ll accept that.

But creating compelling narratives seems impossible right now. I wonder why is that. Are the models missing something?

The videos here are short clips. They can’t be made into a full movie or even a full YouTube video.

I was looking a documentary in Netflix (night stalker) and men all transitions between scene were Ai generated.

Exciting opportunity to stop consuming broad social media and narrowing it down to only specific creators that you can trust not to use AI.

If creators are transparent about it, how is AI worse than CGI?

On a technical level, DTGI (diffusion-transformer generated imagery) is a subset of CGI (computer generated imagery). All DTGI is also CGI.

Computer is the medium, like painting on a canvas. You can paint, or you can pay someone to paint for you.

On a conceptual level, DTGI is a big change. From painting, or paying a creative to paint, to paying a faceless corp to generate a permutation of paintings by other people (who probably did not consent to that).

If creator is transparent about it, I would appreciate it, but as someone said once I’d prefer to just see the prompt since that is the extent of creative input.
