Real life or AI? Watch these videos and see if you can spot the difference

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority Having spent some time with generative AI, I thought I had a fair idea of what to expect from Veo 3 — Google’s cutting-edge AI video generator. But when I finally ponied up the $20 for a Google AI Pro subscription a few weeks ago, I was surprised to find that it outperformed even my most optimistic expectations. Unlike early AI image generators that would produce obvious deformities like extra fingers or absurd architecture, Google’s Veo 3 can generate videos

Through the looking glass: When AI image generators first emerged, misinformation immediately became a major concern. Although repeated exposure to AI-generated imagery can build some resistance, a recent Microsoft study suggests that certain types of real and fake images can still deceive almost anyone. The study found that humans can accurately distinguish real photos from AI-generated ones about 63% of the time. In contrast, Microsoft's in-development AI detection tool reportedly achieves a

With Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg did something no one ever thought was possible. He took a beloved franchise, Predator, and flipped it on its head. By giving it a fresh perspective and a new timeline, he took something old and brought it into the now. For his follow-up, he wanted to do that again, but it was difficult. Everyone kind of just wanted Prey 2. “Sometimes when you make a sequel, it’s just part two of the cool thing, not a cool thing in and of itself,” Trachtenberg said recently a
