Google VEO2 AI-created Porsche SPEC AD.

Stunning.

[MrSMW]

Nice, but I don't get the AI bit?

I was expecting an entire ad created with just AI and was watching speechless...but the BTS revealed a 110 crew, what looked like a proper actors/filming/crew job and production to me?

Unless the BTS was also AI? 😉

Indeed it was.

Really?

The ad and the BTS were both fully AI?

Nothing real about any of it?

If so, I am so out of touch with this world and the entire industry is fucked, - get out now 😵

The voiceover was real.

This is the card at the end of the video.

Well, there’s the rub.

Whatever it was trained on was certainly very real.

Looking at this frame, I’m pretty sure if you went through enough of PotatoJet’s YouTube content you’d find the ,shall we say, “inspiration” for it.

I wonder just how close we are to movie level now then...

But I suppose the material still needs to exist to pull together to make this kind of thing and as a commercial and BTS, enough exists, but not for any kind of real movie that would require a unique script and acting.

At least not without going CGI.

It's crazy how good this stuff is becoming and if I was a youngster, I certainly would not be looking at the more traditional aspects of this industry such as cameras, lenses, lighting, sound etc, but what skills I could develop in my parents basement from my laptop.

But for me personally, that would be a hard no as it would not interest me and I'd rather be a lumberjack or something.

It's definitely improved for very short takes.  While I didn't watch the whole thing, the bits I skipped around to see were all very short clips.  Anyplace with letters was also a give-away (the wording on the truck).  I also wonder how many "takes" they had to do of each clip to get one that looked good and where the physics were mostly realistic.  I saw a few clips that seemed in the "weird physics" space - that continues to be a major weakness of AI-generated video.

But the main thing that could still slow down the enshittification of everything through AI is that AI-generated material is still not able to be copyrighted - at least not in the US.  How long that lasts before the shitheads in Congress/Senate/Presidency "fix" it?  Unknown.

The corruption on the license plate coincidentally features a fragment of the plate of the car that images of may well have been used to train it with.

The car is a Porsche factory one that was provided to reviewers so enough images of it from different sources to train it.

 

Could just be a massive coincidence of course .....

I think a new parlour game in the upcoming years when generating this stuff becomes more readily/instantly available will be image makers entering a specific prompt describing one of their own images that they have put online and determining how much has been lifted from their work based on the output that comes back.

Yes I'd agree that that is where we are at this moment - but obvi that will eventually change. At the very least I'd think that you won't need as much location shooting, b-roll/alternate shots, human extras, etc.

Absolutely! I first saw the video via an IG acct so I used Google Images to search for the original video and all I got was what seemed like all the images the image I clipped was trained on.

The AI was trained about overrigging a camera with Caleb Pike.
