If Veo3 was trained on YouTube, as most sources seem to suggest, wouldn’t it mean that Google just turned its “valued” YouTube creators (at least those who were uploading non-adversarial video, which is most of them in all likelihood) into content producers for a tool designed to replace them? What about YouTube Music—is Google headed towards trillion-dollar lawsuits a la Suno and the like?

We could probably (now) trace a purely domain-agnostic path from "I need to understand subject-matter experts" to "It's just data for machine-learning."
Seeing total video automation is incredible. It's the most compelling reason yet to avoid the infinite treadmill.

Who will provide new data, once the incentives are eliminated?

History is written by those who bother, as they say. Humans will always create.
At the same time, they can also choose to deliver in a binary medium like a game or proprietary WASM container. Or even scans of their handwritings.
Text is now zero cost; ideas may need to be carried along in frictive streams.

> Humans will always create.
Citation needed. Humans have created for as long as they could benefit from their creativity (be it reputation, patronage, or capitalism when combined with IP laws). If that way is no more, I would not be so sure.

I’m still waiting for the first compelling piece of computer generated literature or cinema.
I’d say art but for many, generated pictures are amazing so I’ll accept that.
But creating compelling narratives seems impossible right now. I wonder why is that. Are the models missing something?
The videos here are short clips. They can’t be made into a full movie or even a full YouTube video.

I was looking a documentary in Netflix (night stalker) and men all transitions between scene were Ai generated.

Exciting opportunity to stop consuming broad social media and narrowing it down to only specific creators that you can trust not to use AI.

If creators are transparent about it, how is AI worse than CGI?
