The Problem with Veo3’s “We’re All Prompts” Videos

In recent times, the Veo3 video series, which promotes the concept of “we’re all prompts,” has gained considerable traction. However, many viewers, myself included, find these videos frustrating and uninformative.

The core issue lies in the misunderstanding of the term “prompts.” The narration in these videos often asserts, “the prompt theory is that we are all prompts.” However, this fundamentally misrepresents the concept. Prompts are inputs used to elicit responses or actions, not outputs in themselves.

It’s disheartening to see such content being circulated without a grasp of the underlying principles of prompt theory. This misrepresentation not only confuses the audience but also dilutes the meaningful discussion surrounding the topic. It begs the question: how can we engage in a productive dialogue if the basic concepts are misinterpreted?

While I appreciate the effort to explore innovative ideas, it’s crucial for creators to ensure their content is both accurate and insightful. Perhaps it’s time for a more nuanced approach to discussing prompts—one that fosters understanding rather than further ambiguity. If you share similar sentiments about these videos, you are certainly not alone.
