There are rumors that Will Smith used AI to fake his concert attendance.
After watching the video, people accused the footage of being AI-generated.
Even Green Day joined in, shading Will by sharing a concert video on their Instagram with the caption, “don’t need A.I. for our crowds.”
On Aug. 30, Will seemingly responded to all the backlash in the wildest way. In a new Instagram video, he shouts to the crowd, “We about to turn this thing up,” before asking if everybody’s ready.
The Men In Black actor counts down, and when the camera pans to the audience, it’ll make you do a double-take.
The video was created by Tyler Bernabe, known as jboogxcreative, a digital creator who utilizes mixed media, AI, and VFX.
Will captioned the video, “Crowd was poppin’ tonite!!” but to me, it looks like they were skippity pappin‘ tonite.
And if you think my joke was silly, you should see how people are reacting to Will’s latest video. jboogxcreative said, “That crowd was not catting around.”
Another person said, “Ya gotta be kitten me.”
Some of his celebrity friends chimed in, like Questlove, who said, “That scared me,” and his Fresh Prince costar Tatyana Ali, who showed some love.
Other people said they like how Will dealt with the “haters.”
