With advances in images made by artificial intelligence, many internet users are beginning to get worried. A fake report featuring an AI-generated journalist has been criticized on social media.
A viral clip shared on X, formerly Twitter, in early June shows a “reporter” talking to the “studio” in the middle of a war allegedly declared by Canada against the US, which is false.
The fake journalist later says the video was artificially generated. The text at the end of the video announces that it was “made with Google VEO 3 by @thetravisible.”
If they were showing you AI news in the 90’s…..
Would you have known it was fake?
What if it has been around much longer than we have been led to believe and we are slowly being fed old, crappy versions to make us think we know its limitations? pic.twitter.com/L2p66JpXGs

Another viral clip shows Angela Carter, another journalist produced with generative artificial intelligence, in the middle of a flood on a street. Angela herself says she is not real while a shark swims behind her.

“The world is getting scarier,” said one user shocked by the realism of the video.
“On one hand, it’s amazing that we now have technology to make these things. On the other, it’s scary to think about what malicious people can and will do with it,” warned another.
Google Veo 3 is an AI video generation model capable of creating 8-second videos that look very realistic.
