Veo3 shows that particular blindness that tech people have to the way culture develops.
It looks impressive now, but that's because it usually takes a lot of work to film shots like this. Once people learn to recognize video AI's "style", that style becomes synonymous with cheap crap.
It happened with images, and it will happen with video. They made a billion dollar machine that instantly devalues whatever the machine produces.
This is not a function of the questionable nature of gen AI. It happens to any kind of style that was once limited in use (because it was difficult to do, or difficult to access) and is then made accessible to the masses.
One example is Times New Roman, a very professional typeface, especially commissioned for news paper use.
Once MS included it in windows, it became possible for everybody to use typefaces like these, and TNR became a marker of cheapness.
Not just through overuse, but also through careless use. Before Word, it could only be used by trained professionals, who could understand typography and use it carefully.
Afterwards, most of its use was careless and by people who had other things than aesthetics to worry about.
@pbloem Also the MS cutting was not great. Trad TNR faces were made differently for different sizes. Hinting has improved since but the MS version still is cheap
@jswilkins True, the specimen above looks much better than I remember it ever looking in Word.
It was also kind of a weird choice for the super-low resolution screens of the early and mid 90s. They got a lot smarter about that with their later choices and designs.
