"As I uploaded a 1940s photo of my grandpa Max and hit a few buttons in Google's Veo 3 video generator, I saw a familiar family photo transform from black and white to color. Then, my grandpa stepped out of the photo and walked confidently toward the camera, his army uniform perfectly pressed as his arms swung at the sides of his lanky frame. This is the kind of thing AI lets you do now-virtually bring back the dead."
"A photo of family members at a barbecue turns into a horror scene when the fictional AI app has Padilla's father (played by host Glen Powell) roast the family dog, which happens to have no head. As other photos come to life, Padilla's father pays a bowling buddy to perform a lewd act, and in a baby photo, her mother's torso splits from her body and floats around the frame as a nuclear bomb explodes in the background."
A 1940s family photo uploaded to Google's Veo 3 video generator colorized and animated, showing a grandpa stepping out of the image and walking toward the camera. AI now enables lifelike reanimation of photographs, creating the effect of bringing deceased relatives back to life. A Saturday Night Live sketch depicted an elderly woman whose family animates old photos, resulting in grotesque, absurd scenes such as a headless dog being roasted and a mother's torso detaching amid an explosion. AI video generators frequently make odd, surprising assumptions about physics and produce unpredictable outputs.
