Will Smith's Tour Video Used AI to Generate Adoring Fans and the Result Is Unintentionally Hilarious

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-22 12:09:40

Over the past few years, actor, rapper, and slapper Will Smith has been the subject of a grotesque meme in AI is used to show him gobbling down on nightmarish squelching spaghetti. It now seems that the 56-year-old "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star's team has used the tech to soup up concert footage from his would-be comeback tour — and it strongly appears that the purpose was to make an underwhelming crowd look like they're still filled with love for Smith's much-lampooned career trajectory.

Horrifying AI Crowds Apparently Used in Will Smith Concert Video

Commenters are calling out Will Smith for using AI in a concert video. The video, posted to YouTube on Aug. 12, features the actor and rapper performing on stage with a montage of his audiences. The crowd looks real in some shots, but in others it appears to be AI generated, given the prevalence of blurry faces, extra fingers and akimbo limbs. One YouTube commenter responded: "I like to pause this video and see your crowd close up too. Lots of extra digits in this crowd." Another said: "This i

Skylight’s TikTok alternative adds community curators to the mix

A startup called Skylight is taking a different approach to short-form video. Instead of restricting users to an algorithmic main feed, as is common on social apps, Skylight is building a community around human curators who post and repost videos to build out their own custom feeds others can subscribe to. The option, which launched on Monday in the version 2.0 release of the app, could appeal to users who feel a growing sense of unease about traditional social media platforms and their algorit

Notice a weird beauty filter on Shorts? YouTube says it’s on purpose

Creators have not been offered any notification or given any option to disable upscaling. The team has clarified that it is using “traditional machine learning” to denoise and unblur videos.

The Jonas Brothers music video isn’t the camera flex Google hoped for

I don’t mind the Jonas Brothers. I grew up when they starred in movies like Camp Rock and watched them make a few appearances at Penn State over the four years I was there. Honestly, their music is decent — even if I don’t make the biggest effort to seek it out. So, I was happy to go into the debut of their “I Can’t Lose” music video with an open mind, mainly since it was shot on the Pixel 10 Pro that I’m so eager to review. But now that I’ve replayed it a few times, I’m not sure the partnershi
