‘General population is cooked': Eerily realistic videos of AI reporters created using Google Veo 3 raise red flags
'General population is cooked. You can literally create news clips with Veo-3 now, what's even real anymore?' an X user wrote and shared a video. It is generated with the prompt, 'Generate a British TV news anchor saying: In shocking news, Jake Kaye Rowe Ling's yacht sank with her on board after being attacked by orcas off the coast of Turkey.'
In another video on the same post, an AI generated reporter informs people about a feline takeover of Buckingham Palace.
People are both amused and sceptical. While some remarked that it is a significant leap in terms of the development of artificial intelligence, others argued that it will increase the spreading of misinformation and fake news.
An individual posted, 'OMG! Literally fake news.' Another added, 'Wow, I thought that was real just by looking.' A third remarked, 'Welcome to the new world of misinformation.' A fourth wrote, 'The ability to differentiate false and truth, basically a sound mind.'
According to its official website, Veo 3 has greater 'realism and fidelity'. It is capable of including 4k output, besides real-world physics and audio. This new tech is designed to give more accurate responses to the user's prompts.
'Veo 3 lets you add sound effects, ambient noise, and even dialogue to your creations – generating all audio natively. It also delivers best in class quality, excelling in physics, realism and prompt adherence,' the site states.

Ed Sheeran lookalike fools Indian fans, they call him ‘humble'; real one is rocking Oslo jamming with Sigrid
'Humble' Ed Sheeran, a lookalike of the singer, who gets great reviews for mingling with crowds who don't know he's not real, made an appearance at the Old Trafford Test match. Test Match Special and Barmy Army also registered his presence on their official accounts. The British singing sensation is a genuine fan of Test cricket and has attended matches at Old Trafford. But on Sunday, even as Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja went about resurrecting hopes of a draw on a pitch that has seen many centuries, the crowds managed to entertain themselves posing for selfies with the fake Sheeran. England Cricket, official ECB handle tweeted, 'Always pleasure to have @EdSheetan with us at cricket', as the figure with no tattoos (the biggest giveaway of unauthenticity), dressed in fuschia pink with glares, posed with mostly Indian ethnicity fans. Always a pleasure to have @EdSheeran with us at the cricket 😅 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 The Castle on the Hill, I don't care and Shape of You songmaker is a cricket fan but was performing right that moment with Norwegian star Sigrid in Oslo and his doppelganger did not have tattoos Most in the crowd knew that the redheaded TY Jones, a bonafide doppelganger, is not Ed Sheeran. But selfies don't sing, so even with his hair not messy and the individual not being the Shape of Him, fans happily amused themselves posing with the gallivanting lookalike who was Thinking Out Loud. A celebrity lookalike agency rents out artists, and Jones is one such. He even sported a accreditation. In April, the lookalike turned up at a nightclub but didn't know words to all Sheeran songs, and spent the evening avoiding the real Justin Bieber so as not to be caught. More recently an Arijit Singh lookalike created a parody video of his collaboration with Sheeran, as reported by Express. Sheeran earlier in the year had a Bhangra Collab on the Kapil Sharma show, and the Indian drum beats have reverberated, be it with Wonderwall or a Sheeran single. There was also a Fernando Alonso flukealike immersed in watching the match, who was not aware of his likeness with the F1 driver.
