Just when I thought I met my slop quota for the month, Google had to go ahead and pile on. With Veo 3, AI-generated video has reached a whole new and stupefying level. YouTube slop<\/a>; video game slop<\/a>; VR slop<\/a>; app slop<\/a>\u2014you name it. All of that slop, however interesting, disheartening, or inane, has been pretty low stakes, but apparently it\u2019s all pointed in one direction, and that\u2019s straight for prime time.<\/p>\n

Kalshi hired me to make the most unhinged NBA Finals commercial possible.<\/p>\n

Network TV actually approved this GTA-style madness \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n

High-dopamine Veo 3 videos will be the ad trend of 2025.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, Veo 3 made its debut as a tool for AI advertising, becoming the engine behind this commercial for the financial services company Kalshi, which aired during the NBA finals. This isn\u2019t the first AI-generated ad\u2014those have been happening for a little while now and were a pretty major theme at this past year\u2019s Super Bowl<\/a>\u2014but it\u2019s certainly an ascension for Veo 3, which was just unveiled at Google\u2019s I\/O conference<\/a> last month. But just because AI ads aren\u2019t new doesn\u2019t mean the idea of video generation didn\u2019t simultaneously reach new heights and new lows.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the creator of the ad (or I guess prompter in this case), PJ Ace<\/a>, the whole process was rife with Google AI, from ideation to generation. \u201cKalshi asked me to create a spot about people betting on various markets, including the NBA Finals,\u201d wrote Ace on X. \u201cI said the best Veo 3 content is crazy people doing crazy things while showcasing your brand.\u201d After the initial idea\u2014which was apparently a thematic mashup of\u00a0GTA and Florida\u2014Ace used a mixture of Gemini and ChatGPT to help write and devise the script, and then took those ideas and had Gemini literally write a prompt that he could feed into Veo 3. That\u2019s right, folks, he had AI prompt itself, and that\u2019s how a prime-time ad was born.<\/p>\n

The result looks about on par with what we\u2019ve seen other people generating with Veo 3. The visuals themselves are realistic, but you\u2019ll notice that each scene in the ad is very\u00a0short. That\u2019s because Veo 3 still has trouble with continuity. Even in Google\u2019s curated demos of its new video generation model last month, including this action schlock AI slopfest,<\/a> things get weird when you try to stitch coherent scenes together. Though Google\u2019s AI filmmaking tool, Flow, is made for creating longer, coherent AI videos, allowing you to describe angles and characters and retain them across scenes, things still get wonky. The aforementioned action-oriented AI slopfest is full of strange scenes of a SWAT team shooting at nothing and jarring camera angle shifts that make the fact it was AI-generated pretty obvious.<\/p>\n

Ace says his ad took him all of two days to create and \u201c300-400 generations,\u201d so clearly this isn\u2019t quite waving a magic wand-type technology yet. Though, as Ace points out, it did effectively kill a lot of jobs on what would have been a much bigger payroll. Ace estimates that the whole thing was about a \u201c95 percent cost reduction\u201d as opposed to \u201ctraditional ads.\u201d There\u2019s a lot to unpack here, and based on the limitations I just described above, I don\u2019t think we can herald Veo 3 in as the new, preferred method of advertising, but the job-killing potential for this type of technology is undoubtedly high. And if there\u2019s a way to cut costs, you can bet your ass that we\u2019ll see a lot more of this kind of AI slop in the near future.<\/p>\n
