The Overabundance of VEO3 “We’re All Prompts” Videos: A Critical Perspective

In recent times, a wave of videos has surfaced featuring the concept of “We’re all prompts,” associated with VEO3. As an avid consumer of digital content, I can’t be the only one who finds these videos increasingly tiresome and somewhat misguided.

The central premise of these videos is based on a theory that seems to oversimplify and misinterpret the idea of prompts in our interactions with technology and creativity. Often, the narrative within these videos includes phrases like, “The prompt theory suggests we are all prompts,” which raises some fundamental questions about the distinction between prompts and outputs.

What seems to be lost in this interpretation is the fundamental nature of a prompt. In the realm of Artificial Intelligence and creative processes, prompts are essentially inputs—the starting points from which ideas and outputs are generated. Mischaracterizing prompts as outputs confuses the very essence of this interaction and suggests an oversight by those producing these videos.

It appears that the creators of this content may not fully grasp the intricacies of what prompts truly encompass. As viewers, we’re entitled to clarity and depth rather than a repetitive rehashing of a concept that lacks a thorough understanding.

The question remains: how many more of these surface-level explorations do we need before we can seek a more nuanced conversation about the relationship between prompts and creativity? For now, it seems we are inundated with content that could benefit from a deeper exploration rather than mere repetition.
