Josh Woodward, vp of Google Labs and Gemini, posted on X on June 9 that Google had developed fixes to scale back the gibberish textual content. However over a month later, customers are nonetheless logging points with it in Google Labs’ Discord channel, demonstrating how troublesome it may be to right points in main AI fashions.
Like its predecessors, Veo 3 is offered to paying members of Google’s subscription tiers, which begin at $249.99 a month. To generate an eight-second clip, customers enter a textual content immediate describing the scene they’d prefer to create into Google’s AI filmmaking software Movement, Gemini, or different Google platforms.

Mona Weiss, an promoting artistic director, says that regenerating her scenes in a bid to do away with the random captions is changing into costly. “In case you’re making a scene with dialogue, as much as 40% of its output has gibberish subtitles that make it unusable,” she says. “You’re burning by means of cash making an attempt to get a scene you want, however then you may’t even use it.”
When Weiss reported the issue to Google Labs by means of its Discord channel within the hopes of getting a refund for her wasted credit, its workforce pointed her to the corporate’s official assist workforce. They provided her a refund for the price of Veo 3, however not for the credit. Weiss declined, as accepting would have meant dropping entry to the mannequin altogether. The Google Labs’ Discord assist workforce has been telling customers that subtitles could be triggered by speech, saying that they’re conscious of the issue and are working to repair it.
