Hollywood actor Will Smith has once again broken the internet, this time not with a slap but with a playful jab at artificial intelligence.
The actor recently posted a hilarious video on his official Instagram feed, parodying an AI-generated spaghetti-eating video of himself that went viral last year.
AI-Generated Video of Will Smith Eating Spaghetti
Smith's video, captioned "This is getting out of hand!", cleverly juxtaposes the original AI-generated spaghetti video, created by a Reddit user named "chaindrop" in March 2023, with the actual actor himself munching on pasta in the weirdest ways possible.
Smith's Instagram post shows him slurping spaghetti, pouring it into his mouth with his fingers, and even chewing on someone's hair, all set to Lil Jon's 2006 hit "Snap Yo Fingers."
The comparison of the two videos has sparked a flurry of reactions in the comments section, with some questioning whether Smith's video was also AI-generated. Some are wondering if AI video generation has reached the point where it is indistinguishable from real videos

Realistic AI-Generated Videos
Smith's parody follows an announcement from artificial intelligence company OpenAI about their latest innovation in video synthesis technology. The new AI tool, called "Sora," can generate highly realistic 60-second videos based on simple text prompts, representing a significant step forward in the field of AI-generated content.
"The model has a deep understanding of language, enabling it to accurately interpret prompts and generate compelling characters that express vibrant emotions," according to a company blog post. "Sora can also create multiple shots within a single generated video that accurately persist characters and visual style."
Experts and analysts have praised the quality and length of Sora's videos, claiming that they outperform previous text-to-video models. OpenAI's Sora model, which builds on the success of its image-generating DALL-E tool, represents a significant advancement in the field.
Turing Test for AI-Generated Videos
Despite the video's humorous tone, it has sparked some discussion about the impact of AI-generated content and its implications for various industries. Some users on X have even referred to the "Will Smith eating spaghetti" video as the new standard for assessing the capabilities of AI video synthesis models or simply a Turing test for AI videos.
While advances in AI video synthesis have enormous potential for a variety of industries, including filmmaking and journalism, they also raise ethical concerns about the potential misuse of AI-generated data. Examples of AI-generated speeches and fake voice calls have already raised concerns, prompting calls for stricter regulations and oversight.
Despite these challenges, rapid advancements in AI technology continue to inspire innovation and creativity across industries.
