Will Smith posted a video The social media showing that the oceans of the fans cheered him during his recent European tour.
“My favorite part of the tour is to see you all close,” says the caption. “Thank you for seeing me as well.”
In these thousands of deep crowds, some fans keep the signs that adopt their love for Smith, with one more saying that his music has helped survive cancer.
But the video emits a strange aura – it looks true at first glance, until you look closer and find digital clothespins, fools of fingers, and strangely increased features throughout the clips.
The video seems quite strange that the fans replied categories that the crowd of crowd was created using AI. It’s bad news for Smith, who has already suffered reputation after “the slap. “If he used AI to make his concerts more impressive, or even rotate stories of fans who use his music to cope with cancer treatment, this would be quite vague.
These fans are not fake, but – or at least, this is our best guess. (There is no reliable way to determine if the content was created using AI, which has made the current online landscape a nightmare.)
As Tech blogger Andy Baio pointed outWill Smith has posted photos and videos throughout his tour showing some of the same fans and signs depicted in the controversial video.

There is nothing about these older posts that show that photos and videos are synthetic, but when they are portrayed in this new video, they look like they have been created using AI. It seems that the Smith team has really stuck shots with videos created by AI that use real crowds as a source images, making the video even more difficult to interpret.
But social media audiences will not devote time to move through Will Smith’s positions, to find evidence that a fan has really heard his music during cancer treatment and gave him the advantage of doubt. What the fans will get away from the position is that Smith publishes fake videos of his fans, which is deep, even if the reality is a little less intense.
It’s a bad timetable for Smith, too, YouTube had recently begun trial A feature that would use “traditional mechanical learning technology in Unblur, denoise and improve clarity” in some short posts – these edits made YouTube’s short youtube look even more false than videos on other platforms.
YouTube’s creator, Rene Ritchie has since communal That the platform will soon allow creators to leave this feature, which has proven to be not popular so far.
You could argue that Will Smith has not cheated on his fans – that his team simply used AI to create videos of photos to create a more visually restrained social media position and that this practice could be compared to other forms of video editing.
Friends do not see it that way. The public is more resistant to AI genetic technology than existing creative tools, such as Autotune or Photoshop. But even in these cases, many fans remain disabled by artists based on these tools in ways they feel in a milestone.
If a fan buys tickets to see a pop star, but it turns out that his recordings are only heard well because his terrible voice is confident, then he would feel cheated. It’s like photographing a model to advertise a moisturizing face cream, just to process acne from the model’s face.
Once an artist breaks the confidence of his audience, it’s hard to win it back and even if you are the fresh prince of Bel-air.
