Current Events > Will Smith posted a vid of him performing to an AI crowd

(+) Yeah! (+)

And tried to pass it off as real lmao

Edit: looks like its a weird hodgepodge of real crowds and AI. Still weird as fuck

how can you tell its AI?

Look at the thumnail the woman on the bottom left hand on the sign.

It looks like the guy behind her is helping her hold it up higher. Her hand seems to be naturally pinched in his.

Comments say the signs are misspelled, but I didn't see any?

People also grab him at one point, so it clearly can't all be AI. Which parts are supposed to be?

lol even the comments on the video are calling out its AI.

oh true. thumbnail is a dead giveaway lol. i blew right past it

Imagine hating on someone more successful. Are there any AI videos of YOU singing to a crowd?

He hasn't been the same person since that slap lol. Guy's been on a downward spiral.

Yeah, he's just helping her hold the sign higher:

I think the crowds where you actually see him in the shot are legit. Some of the random crowd shots seem questionable though. Like towards the end, a person is holding a sign and it looks like it says "LOV U FR66H CRINCE" seems like the type of mistakes AI would make with text

It's real, it's from multiple different concerts though, apparently, and they think a few scenes might be from real photos but put through an AI image-to-video filter. And then Youtube filtering is also apparently super weird.

Yeah Youtube adds a stupid AI filter to everything, supposedly under the impression eventually they'll just be able to only have AI jank on their platform and they can stop like, paying people who make stuff on there.

How can you not fucking tell the guy's hand is over her's?

The tl;dr is a few parts may be real images run through an AI image-to-video editor to add animation to them, and then Youtube added an AI-esque filter on top of it, but the crowds themselves are real.

I heard YouTube does this on purpose so it can come to a point where people can't really differentiate AI to Real anymore, in a "if everything is AI, nothing is" kind of way.

Looks tinfoil hat but at this point I can expect anything from the big techs in regards to AI.

And seriously, that slap broke this man.

Cause it looks like they are merging together to me.

Sorry to have offended you. Hope you get over it.

Nobody commenting on how terrible Wills rapping is.

Saw this on Facebook and the first comment was some fuckwit saying so did Kamala.

The rapping was fine, imo. Much better than the verses he did in 'I Like Pretty Girls'

Thats just what happens to your body when youre a Will Smith fan in 2025

Could be a bot. There are tons of them who exist only to go onto every single post they find and say Biden bad or Kamala laugh

I find myself questioning everything now. Its exhausting and I find myself being numb in response.

Some of them feel like GenAI from still pictures. Like the "LOV U FRESH PRINCE" one with the lady in the red top. There's a guy in the corner giving a glassy, unrealistic stare. The lady in red has a weird AI homunculus expression on her face and seemingly no teeth.

The worst one is the stick sign. Like some people have swirled faces. It's bizarre they didn't see that shit and posted it.

Well, tbf, that means he can't slap anyone.

Apology accepted

that sign is like, a dead fucking giveaway.

if *some* is ai, it's reasonable to assume it's entirely ai, imo.

it's like, so what if it's "trace" amounts of ai. shit is poison, i want 0 amounts of ai

None of the signs or people are AI. There's basically just an AI filter over it.

Yeah it's almost definitely this.

He still does concerts? Does he do Wild Wild West?

He opens with "Miami" and then he leaves.

For Miami.

Will is many things, but he's not a liar.

This looks legit to me. There may have been some A.I. manipulation through something like Topaz Gigapixel or something - which I highly doubt that Will (who doesn't seem too technically, inclined) had anything to do with.

What is with the strong hate with this dude? The slap was horrible, but he's been censured and Chris Rock has let bygones be bygones. Just let the dude live.

His music is not my cuppa, but who cares? He didn't drink my milkshake.

Will Smith don't gotta use AI in his concerts to sell tickets
Well, I do, so fuck him, and fuck you, too

This actually makes me want to show up to real concerts with weird AI-looking signs

Even if it was real, some sad stuff to try to pass off the idea you're relevant.

And I really liked Fresh Prince. It's kinda like a dream scenario for me if I could pick my life. To grow up and out of bad habits and lifestyle, with an uncle and aunt like that who would go out of their way to fill the gaps my parents left. The cousins being siblings I never had. A butler that'd teach me humility....

...but man Will Smith only pretended to live that scenario and irl became a sack of shit. Probably partly because of his Jada, but also his own choices. Uncle Phil taught you better than this.

It's only "sad" in that's he's past his prime and has pent up angst in his marriage. He's still rich and it's not like he's turned into a complete asshole, like Ye. His son also started a restaurant that feeds the homeless for free so he or Jada or someone is teaching his kids something right.

This is true. Im pretty sure hes still trying to pretend he know on his PC where that CD go.

Anyway, yeah, I dont get the hate. What exactly has he done thats so bad besides the slap?

ai filter my ass that's just ai

Yeah, that's a big one people thought the sign was AI, but it's not, since there's an actual picture of it:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d73370c1.jpg

There's an AI filter on it from Youtube, and they might have used AI image-to-video to animate still pictures to blend in with the surrounding video, but the people/signs are all real.
