AI video is invading YouTube Shorts and Google Photos starting today - Lemmy.World

Omg i just checked out Veo 3, and videos can never be believed again. I mean it couldn't in the past either, but at least you had to have technical video editing skills or the money to pay someone who does. But now any schlub can just type a dumb text prompt and the machine will generate an extremely realistic looking video of exactly what you wrote. Insane. Absolutely insane.

How are we this far in the future right now?!

Good thing PeerTube exists, you could always just move there. Google stopped being trustworthy as a creator as soon as they announced Veo 3 if not even before then.
It doesn't matter where you view videos, the output from the ai generators is just an mp4 file that can be uploaded anywhere
Assuming PeerTube as a platform embraces AI in the same way Google/Meta/etc. are, even though that’s fundamentally impossible based on its decentralized nature?

Then I don't understand what your point is as a reply to my original comment. I said "no video you see can ever be believed again", and you reply with "well you can post your own videos on a self-hosted service". I don't see how that follows as a response to my original comment.

EDIT

I think you seem to be under the impression that ai videos are somehow locked onto only being on YouTube. That isn't the case. Anyone can go to any Veo ai generation site, write a prompt, and it'll generate a video of that in an mp4 file which they can upload to any video sharing platform. All mp4 files are the same thing, regardless of whether they were made by a video camera or ai.

I've been weaning myself off video content altogether, which I feel is the most surefire way to avoid AI video.

I feel like I'm going to turn into such a paranoid tin-foil-hat nutcase and just trust nothing I don't see with my own eyes... I mean I would be ok with that, it just sounds miserable.
