Is Anyone Else Annoyed by the Constant Release of Veo3 “We’re All Prompts” Sloppy Videos?

Why the “We’re All Prompts” Videos Miss the Mark

In recent months, a particular genre of video seems to have taken over various platforms, particularly those derived from the Veo3 narrative style. These videos often share a central theme: that “we’re all prompts.” However, I find myself increasingly frustrated with this notion and its frequent articulation in media.

The concept is repeated ad nauseam, as if the audience needs to be reminded of this oversimplified idea. The narration typically emphasizes that “the prompt theory suggests we are all prompts.” This phrasing, while catchy, largely misses the critical distinction between prompts as inputs rather than outputs.

This misconception becomes apparent when examining how these videos are produced. It’s clear that a fundamental understanding of what constitutes a prompt is lacking among many of those creating such content. Instead of fostering a deeper conversation, they reduce a complex topic into a series of repetitive phrases with little substance.

As we navigate the intricacies of prompts—how they function and influence various systems—it’s essential to foster discussions that celebrate nuance and understanding, rather than succumbing to oversimplified catchphrases. It is my hope that future content creators will take this into account, leading to richer conversations that move beyond the current limitations.
