“Wait… They Can Talk Now?”
I found something wild — people are freaking out because of a new AI model called Veo 3 by Google DeepMind. It doesn’t just make super realistic videos… it adds sound too, straight from the same model!
This tech leap is blowing minds, and everyone’s shouting the same thing:
“They can TALK! They can SING!”
It’s not just visuals anymore. These AIs are literally acting.
What the Heck Was That Video?
- Created by @AriKuschnir
- Used Veo 3 completely out of the box
- No extra editing, audio, or footage
- Took ~2 hours of back-and-forth with the model
- Final result was stitched together in Adobe Premiere
- Featured perfectly synced lips, expressions, and even jokes like:
“That’s cliché dialogue” (said by the AI itself…
)
“We’re So Cooked” – People’s First Reactions
Here’s what stood out the most:
- Perfect Lip Sync: No weird mouths, no floaty faces — it looks human.
- Natural Dialogue Flow: It “pauses” like a real actor.
- Dramatic Eye Contact: That fake-person-staring-at-you moment? Creepy.
- Voices & Accents: It can speak in character — even sing.
- People Got Tricked: Many commenters thought the actors were real.
Smart Takes & Scary Thoughts
Existential Dread Mode: ON
- “Feels like the AI is performing aliveness”
- “This is beyond uncanny valley… it feels like something is behind the screen”
- “If humans lose creative purpose AND jobs, it’s not utopia. It’s mass starvation.”
- “Future video = AI copying AI. Human art becomes extinct.”
Apocalypse Bingo Cards
- Fake news will become undetectable
- Personalized deepfake porn
- Entire Hollywood wiped out
- Indie creators overtaken by Megacorps
- Human actors and voiceovers? Dead jobs
- Realism = New sign of something being fake
The Big Players & Power Moves
- Google owns YouTube = domination of AI-generated video content
- Veo 3 smashes Sora (OpenAI’s model) in quality & physics realism
- People expect $250/month pricing for pro access
- Some are already investing in Google stock over this
What the Tech Actually Can Do Right Now
- Generate photorealistic characters
- Add synced voice and lip movements
- Perform dialogue with emotion and timing
- Insert jokes, accents, even musical numbers
- Auto-grade cinematic color and camera angles
- Emulate actor-specific looks (kind of)
But…
Character consistency across scenes is still a problem
Funniest (and Saddest) Community Moments
- “Keep my fettuccine Alfredo out your mouth!” (Will Smith meme revival)
- “RIP acting, singing, dancing… and maybe sports too?”
- “Is this Black Mirror Season 8??”
- “I pity those meat-based lifeforms and their quaint jobs
” - “At least we still have outside… for now.”

Wait, Can I Use It?
Not yet, unless:
- You have access to Veo 3 (currently limited)
- You’re okay paying $250/month
- You have a powerful machine (it’s energy-hungry)
- Or… you wait 6–12 months. People think this will go mainstream fast.
The Inevitable Ironies
- AI finally crosses the uncanny valley… to create perfect lies
- Real actors might go back to live theater to survive
- Meanwhile, people cheer: “Make more Firefly episodes!”
- We thought streaming killed cinema? Nah. AI did.
Final Thoughts from the Crowd
- “The future is a hallucination”
- “Imagine the bomb being dropped because of a fake AI video”
- “We used to fear losing history. Now we drown in fake history”
- “This is the death of art in real time”
Warnings That Kept Coming Up
- Expect massive misinformation waves
- Deepfakes in courtrooms and politics
- AI-generated content replacing reality
- Creative careers may vanish without protection
- Content creation may become exclusive to corporations
Good, Bad & Ugly: Full Breakdown
The Good
- Anyone can create polished video stories
- Language barriers shrink — AI can speak any dialect
- Old shows and ideas can be revived by fans
- Fanfiction = full-length movies now
- Filmmakers no longer need budgets or crews
- No more studio gatekeepers
The Bad
- Everyone fears job loss: actors, voice artists, editors, directors
- Endless AI-generated content might kill human-made art
- No legal system prepared for deepfakes or AI-generated lies
- Corporations will profit — creators may not
The Ugly
- Entire court cases could be faked convincingly
- Fake news could start wars
- Political manipulation will be faster, easier, and harder to detect
- Kids will grow up not trusting anything they see
- People could emotionally bond with AI avatars, thinking they’re real
What People Think Happens Next
- 6–12 months: Mass adoption for indie videos and marketing
- 1–2 years: Major YouTubers & studios start mixing AI into real content
- 2–4 years: AI movies, shows, ads, games become standard
- 5+ years: Laws passed after disasters (probably too late)
Cool Use Ideas People Suggested
- Recreate Game of Thrones seasons the way fans want
- Generate AI shows from manga/light novels
- Bring back canceled TV shows (Firefly, Better Off Ted, etc.)
- Fan-made spin-offs using actual voices of favorite characters
- Turn scripts directly into voiced films — solo filmmaking!
- Use AI avatars for training, education, and storytelling
- Multilingual dubbing with perfect lip sync
End of an Era… or Start of a New One?
Some said it’s like watching art die.
Others said it’s just a new tool.
Some people panicked.
Some made memes.
Some invested in Google stock.
Others shouted, “Kill it with fire!”
But nearly everyone agreed:
AI is moving faster than anyone imagined.
Funniest Lines in the Whole Thing
- “He can talk?! I can SIIIIIIIIING!”
- “Keep my fettuccine Alfredo out of your mouth.”
- “Gonna make my own Worf episodes!”
- “I need this AI to FaceTime my wife for me.”
- “This is like watching Black Mirror Season 8: Real Life”
Most Mind-Bending Concepts
- AI doing human-like dialogue flow with jokes, tone shifts, and “eye contact”
- Commenters literally forgot they were watching AI
- Emotional trickery — our brains react like the character is real
- AI now feels like it’s performing instead of just generating
