War on Reality: AI Voice and Video

In this second installment of the Cerebral Valley podcast series, co-hosts James Wilsterman and Max Child of Volley join Eric Newcomer for a thought-provoking conversation about the future of AI-generated voice and video — and what it means for our sense of reality.

From TikTok trends to the future of Hollywood and podcasting, the trio explores where generative video might take us over the next five years. Will AI content dominate our feeds? Will we even be able to tell the difference?

To put these predictions to the test, the hosts play The AI Video Turing Test — a game where they watch viral AI-generated videos from 2018 to today, ending with the latest clips made with Veo 3. Can they spot what’s real and what’s fake? And what makes some fakes feel too real?

This episode dives deep into the shifting boundaries between synthetic and human-made content — and makes one thing clear: we’re no longer at the bottom of the uncanny valley. AI is climbing fast.

The 2025 Cerebral Valley AI Summit will be held in London on June 25th
