Can Veo 3 already create full movies just by giving it scripts or prompting it? But I think in a few more years, I am afraid that we won’t be able to tell if something uploaded on YouTube was just AI generated. ---

It’s truly impressive to witness the evolution of Veo3. This week, I came across a video created by a small town to promote its June festival. The video was about 1 minute long, had around six AI characters, music and other elements, it was entirely created using Veo3. According to the author, he spent around $55. If he were to hire a team with real actors, camera operators and so on it would cost significantly more and take much longer here’s the video [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/h66U1zUV8yQ/maxresdefault.jpg "Anúncio de festa junina da prefeitura de Ulianópolis, PA, inteiramente gerado no Google Veo3") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h66U1zUV8yQ) ---

$55!? That’s insane!! Just saw this, and I think I’d watch it too! https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7511731394716912918 Edit: I thought it was Veo3, but I don’t think it is now watching it again… ---

Thanks for sharing. I really wish they will make an awesome Street Fighter movie soon. ---

😮 I honestly can’t tell if some of these videos are real or AI-generated! ---

Exactly, just think about Hollywood with all those multi-million-dollar productions and thousands of actors and crew members. They could be replaced by an AI for a fraction of the cost. Those books adaptations that take years to produce, could be created in a couple of days… Sure, someone can say “but Veo can’t produce full-length movies or maintain consistency yet..” But think about it, five years ago we barely had anything like this. AI is evolving super fast.
