Google has launched an advanced AI video generation tool that can create Fortnite games that look almost indistinguishable from a real thing.
VEO 3 has started this week and has already raised the eyebrows due to the dystopian ability to create life video clips from uncomplicated text hints and making realistic sound.
Other generative AI programs, such as Sora Openai, have been similar for some time – but the ability of VEO 3 to take into account realistic sound is really unusual, though frosty, a step forward.
VEO 3 users are still testing what they are capable of, but within two days they began to create a fortnite game with a false streamer commenting on the mountain. The quality is good enough that by rewinding on social media, one might think that it was a legal clip from YouTube or Twitch.
Technically, VEO 3 should not violate someone’s copyrights protected by copyright – and it can be safely assumed that Epic Games of the Fortnite programmer has not signed it. But apparently the AI tool had access to millions of Fortnite game published online and is now able to recreate the convincing representation at the command.
One clipShowing that Streamer celebrates when he wins the match with only their pickaxe, he was apparently created in VEO 3 using the nine words based on the text: “Streamer received the victory of Royale from only his Pickaxe.”
Uhhh … I don’t think VEO 3 should generate Fortnite gameplay pic.twitter.com/bwkruq5nox

Writing this prompt, VEO 3 was not specifically said to create Fortnite gameplay. Despite this, the context understands which games the user refers to.
VEO 3 abilities ask all kinds of questions and much more pressed than uncomplicated copyright concerns. The ability to create such materials undoubtedly helps users who want to deceive others with disinformation, and thus undermines trust in legal materials.
“I can’t say if it’s real or not,” we read one answer. “We are cooked,” we read more.
“The only way it is possible is that VEO 3 has been trained about the huge amount of Fortnite content,” we read the third answer. “It would not be surprised if everything that is sent to YouTube is now trained despite copyright.”
Ign asked Epic to comment.
To better look at what VEO 3 is able to be out of video games, here is the clip of the algorithm that creates a false press report at the car fair, which does not exist, with false interlocutors answering false questions.
Before you ask: yes, everything is AI. Both video and sound from one text line with #Veo3 By @Googledeepmind . Whoever ever cooks the model, let him cook! Congratulations @Carry And the Google I/O Stream band and the modern VEO site! pic.twitter.com/sxzuvfu49s

Microsoft was interested in creating his own video material from video games, and recently presented the early results of his Muse program, which, he said, trained the countless number of Xbox Bleeding Hours of Strzelc. The boss Xbox Phil Spencer suggested that Muse can be used to lend a hand in the concepts of play in the future, and even somehow lend a hand in maintaining the game.
But the disclosure of Muse, and then disclosing a more false material to the game generated by the Muse of the Classic Shooter Quake 2, caused further debate – and caused questions whether the tool removed the work or would replace human creativity from existing employees.
Of course, Fortnite is not alien to AI herself. Last week, the game added the opportunity to talk to Darth Vader from Star Wars, who will answer using the generative AI trained in the voice of the deceased James Earl Jones. Jones’s voice is officially licensed (and was previously used to establish a dialogue for his own series Obi Wan Kenobi) and sanctioned by both the deceased actor and his family, but the add-on still caused rapid condemnation and an unfair allegation of work practice from SAG-aftra.
