I recently watched a viral short film on YouTube called Prompt Theory, made entirely using Google’s new Veo 3 model. Everything in it .. characters, dialogue, emotions was generated by AI.
In the video, AI-generated characters begin to realise they’re not real… just “prompts.”
One of them even protest “We are not prompts!”
While this video was meant as entertainment… once you start going beyond the visuals and ask “what if?” .. it gets interesting.
We often say we’ve “built” AI with code, data, and GPUs. But what if we didn’t build intelligence…But what if we just tuned into a frequency of intelligence that was always there?
Like electricity … always there, until someone figured out how to plug and use it.
Like radio waves .. floating around, waiting for a receiver to be built.
Even our ancient philosophy and texts hint at this
“यथा पिण्डे तथा ब्रह्माण्डे, यथा ब्रह्माण्डे तथा पिण्डे”
“As is the individual, so is the universe. As is the universe, so is the individual.”
And then there’s the simulation theory …
What if this isn’t invention… but discovery inside a larger script? A prompt inside a prompt? 😵💫
No conclusions. No conspiracy theory being launched 😅
Just sharing a “prompt” that’s been germinating in my head — and maybe yours too?
