The New 'AI' Video Of Will Smith Eating Spaghetti Is Not Actually AI — It's Just Will Smith

Last week's release of OpenAI's text-to-video AI Sora, able to generate videos that are both impressively and scaringly realistic, has caused quite a stir.

However, people demanded a benchmark: Get Sora to create the new version of the Will Smith Eating Spaghetti video, the most notorious spawn of the first-generation video AIs.

Finally, there is now a new video of actor Will Smith devouring copious amounts of spaghetti to properly compare the one-year progress of AI against.

There's a caveat, though: It's not been made by AI, and instead, it's just real Will Smith horsing around.

The actor posted the video to his Instagram today, and taken out-of-context, it might just appear that it was generated by Sora.

Understandably, some people are already trying to do a little trolling. Don't be fooled by the magic of Will Smith acting like he's been AI-generated though.

Does this count as the very first instance of an actor playing an AI-generated version of himself? The experience Smith gained from his role in I, Robot has finally come in handy.
