I write about AI for a living and I haven’t seen AI video as realistic as Veo 3 before, here are the 9 best examples

Realistic lip-synced Veo 3 videos are flooding social media
It's going to be hard to spot fake videos from now on
Veo 3 has a one-month free trial for US users

Google launched Veo 3, its new AI video generator, at the recent Google I/O event. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis introduced it with the words, "We’re emerging from the silent era of video generation," because with Veo 3, you can add synchronized sound to your AI videos with ease.

As well as character dialogue with lip-syncing, the sound effects in Veo 3 also include ambient noise that matches the video. Of course, there have been graphical improvements in Veo 3 as well, including better physics, improved typography, and better prompt understanding.

This means you can produce video clips of people talking that are so realistic it’s hard to tell that they aren't real, as the examples here show.

How to try Veo 3 for free

You can try Veo 3 yourself, if you are in the US, using a one-month free trial, however going beyond the one month trial will set you back $249.99 a month as part of an AI Ultra subscription. That subscription also gives you access to Google Flow, its new filmmaking tool, which helps you combine Veo 3 clips into one cohesive story.

Of course, people have been quick to jump on Veo 3 video, and my social feeds have been awash with great examples that are hard to tell from real video clips. Here are the nine best examples I’ve seen from X.com:

1. Street interview

This is perhaps the most impressive example of Veo 3 creating a realistic video for a street interview that didn’t happen:

2. Pharmaceutical commercial

You can imagine the uses in the corporate world for Veo 3. This is a great example of how various Veo 3 clips can be combined together.

I used to shoot $500k pharmaceutical commercials. I made this for $500 in Veo 3 credits in less than a day.What’s the argument for spending $500K now?(Steal my prompt below
