Summary

A user tested Google Veo, an AI tool that transforms photos into short videos with music and sound effects, by uploading selfies and receiving creative eight-second clips. While the results were impressive and showcased the tool's potential for automated video generation, some odd glitches highlight ongoing challenges in AI-driven media synthesis. This demonstrates both the rapid progress and current limitations in generative AI for multimedia content.

Here's what happened when I fed Google Veo a few of my photos and got back eight-second mini-movies - complete with music, sound effects, and some odd glitches.
