Perplexity adds video generation feature to its AI chatbot on X: How to use
Perplexity has introduced a new feature to its chatbot on X (formerly Twitter), which allows users to create short, AI-generated videos with sound. The feature works by simply tagging @AskPerplexity in a post and adding a short prompt. Users receive an eight-second video clip that includes creative visuals, background music and dialogue. The new feature has led to more user activity, with people trying out how creative the AI can be. As the feature gained attention, the demands have increased also, which is leading to delays in video generation. The @AskPerplexity account has acknowledged the backlog and posted saying, 'I've read through your video request DMs. Some of y'all need help. Not AI therapist help. Real help.' Users have been generating anything like animated samosa parties, sketches of world leaders, Pikachu and Goku animations and more. I've read through your video request DMs. Some of y'all need help. Not AI therapist help. Real help. — Ask Perplexity (@AskPerplexity) June 20, 2025 How the new AI-video feature works Each video is approximately eight seconds long and it includes synchronised audio, dynamic visuals, and even dialogue. To use the feature, users need to tag @AskPerplexity in a post and include a brief prompt describing what they would like the video to show. Once submitted, the bot processes the request and replies with a unique AI-created video based on the input. Perplexity and Grok AI Perplexity live on WhatsApp In related news, Perplexity has also made its chatbot more accessible by launching it on WhatsApp. From April this year, users have been able to access Perplexity AI directly from the messaging platform, which eliminates the need for a separate app or registration process.

Don't Count AI-Generated Content as CanCon, CRTC Hears
The CRTC should not classify material generated by artificial intelligence as Canadian content, unions representing actors and writers told the regulator Thursday. The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists said that 'under no circumstance' should AI-created material be considered CanCon. 'Otherwise, it is a betrayal to our performers, who have already seen their moral rights violated and job opportunities limited by AI,' national president Eleanor Noble said. The actors' union appeared at a two-week hearing held by the federal broadcast regulator to consider how to modernize its definition of Canadian content. The CRTC had asked for input on the impact and role of artificial intelligence as part of that process. Noble said AI is widely used in dubbing and urged the CRTC to 'protect the livelihoods of Canadian performers.' Marie Kelly, the organization's national executive director, said there are appropriate uses of AI, such as employing the technology to make a stunt look more dramatic while keeping the performer safe. Related Stories 5/20/2025 5/14/2025 'But we are opposed to where the AI is generating performances,' she said. Kelly said AI 'should not take over the jobs of the creators in the ecosystem that we're in and we should not treat AI-generated performers as if they are a Canadian actor.' The Writers Guild of Canada, which appeared at the hearing Wednesday, also argued AI-generated content should not be considered Canadian content. The CRTC's definition of Canadian content is based on awarding points when Canadians occupy key creative positions in a production. It's considering keeping that system and expanding it to allow more creative positions to count toward the total points. The writers' union said in its written submission that AI isn't consistent with that approach. 'Machines do not have citizenship. They do not live and reside in Canada, nor any other national jurisdiction, because they do not 'live' or 'reside,'' it said. The group argued the use of AI systems by a Canadian doesn't make the output Canadian either. 'Prompting a generative AI is not the same as creating content. It is fundamentally and overwhelmingly the AI technology that generates the output, not the human being inputting the prompts,' its submission said. Crediting the AI user with the AI's output, the group said, would be like 'crediting the Sistine Chapel ceiling to Pope Julius II, because he commissioned its painting, rather than Michelangelo, who actually envisioned and painted it.'

Google's new SynthID Detector can help spot AI slop
Google is launching a way to quickly check whether an image, video, audio file, or snippet of text was created using one of its AI tools. SynthID Detector, announced Tuesday at Google I/O 2025, is a verification portal that uses Google's SynthID watermarking technology to help identify AI-generated content. Users can upload a file, and SynthID Detector will determine whether the whole sample — or just a part of it — is AI-created. The debut of SynthID Detector comes as AI-generated media floods the web. The number of deepfake videos alone skyrocketed 550% from 2019 to 2024, according to one estimate. Per The Times, of the top 20 most-viewed posts on Facebook in the U.S. last fall, four were "obviously created by AI." Of course, SynthID Detector has its limitations. It only detects media created with tools that use Google's SynthID specification — mainly Google products. Microsoft has its own content watermarking technologies, as do Meta and OpenAI. SynthID also isn't a perfect technology. Google admits that it can be circumvented, particularly in the case of text. To that first point, Google is arguing that its SynthID standard is already used at a massive scale. According to the tech giant, more than 10 billion pieces of media have been watermarked with SynthID since it launched in 2023.
