Now shorts creators would be able to use Veo 2 for not just generating better looking video backgrounds but would also be able to entirely create new AI originated short clips. For using this new process, Short creators would be able to open media picker in the Shorts creation flow and then click Create at top of the window.
As of now, AI generated creations look little unrealistic and too shiny. The technology is improving and in the future you would see that it would fit seamlessly into your creations which would lead to more creative videos.
This could also lead to clogging up platforms as people would be using generative AI video and not add much in terms of viewing experience. This also raises concerns about deepfakes but YouTube has clarified that these videos would incorporate SynthID watermarks and would include labels for indicating when AI had been used.
The hype around AI has led to YouTube to add such AI features but still human creativity remains key for maximizing benefit from these tools and only those who take time to research, invest and conceptualize these ideas stand to gain from it.
The AI creation elements for Shorts has been rolled out to users in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and U.S. with more regions to follow.
