I’ll never understand how a statistical model for “next most probable pixel” can arrive at shit like this.
I chalk it up to ye olde statistics and having to view data as a matrix or tensor of bytes lol
I'm still in awe how it gets things correct from randomness. Even the early stages years ago that were obviously bad still would get close to the idea, and now it's not that easy to determine some video origins.
I'm not talking about the morality and ethics of how it got here, but the science of how it works.
Yes and I’ve still never understood how text-clawed LLM chat bots and image generator AI seemed to reach these breakthroughs at the same time, or how they are related, under the sheet.

It looks like she’s holding the lower left hand corner of the sign and his hand overlaps hers slightly, that doesn’t look generated.
But that doesn’t explain her bracelet slipping off onto the other womans head, or his weirdly shaped arm where his tattoo is by his watch.
Or his stretched downward face. Those proportions are not right.
Melted!
Well, he did have cancer...
Try overlapping your fingers the way shown in the picture. Unless there’s something special or wrong with my hand, I can only overlap my fingers that way from pinky to pointer. And if you look at the bottom, it looks like there’s a thumb wrapping around.
Which means that’s not his right hand, it’s his left hand upside down. But we can see that his left hand is on the right side of the sign—it’s the one with a pointer that looks like a cross between ET’s finger and a penis.
His thumb would be behind the sign somewhere around the “h”. Then you have his four fingers.
Her hand starts right below his pinkie finger and it’s her thumb curled up underneath the sign.
Looks like it could be that one's wearing a bracelet and the other's wearing a headband and the two are just coincidentally lining up.
Frankly, I think this kind of CSI "zoom and enhance!" analysis is kind of silly generally speaking. Does it matter if these images are AI generated? Does Will Smith matter?
Maybe this is AI-generated. Could be. Maybe it's real, could also be. None of the "defects" seem particularly egregious. But at the end of the day I don't see how it's going to change anything of any significance either way.
And how a mega star like this (or more likely his media team) DON’T REALISE
It’s because they’re stupid and they believe they’re smarter than us.
Probably because you have no experience writing or reading code for AI. I doubt you’ve read a single book on AI or taken any classes related to it.
Why would you think you could understand this? Dunning-Kruger effect?
I’ve read enough about how the langauge models work to develop a statistical graph of words based on a huge corpus of training input. But no amount of training pixels adds up to z-index errors like this. Also, wow your attitude is hostile as hell. I feel sorry for you having to walk around like that. Try not to have a terrible day now, hm?
“I’ll never understand this”
“Why would you think you could understand this?”
maybe you should work on understanding basic english
Best way to know for certain is to interview people from the audience.
Excuse me, sir?

Oh. Oh my. I’m so sorry. You and your friends are obviously busy, I’ll just g-
Oh god, help me! The nightmares are real!!!
It’s like he’s wearing the skin of someone elses face on his shirt.
Now I wanna hire a human artist to design me a graphic tee with that man wearing that skin-face shirt!
Also totally a real person:

Woman! Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa man!
“HEED! MOOVE!”
The T-1000 mid-transformation?
Smith: “Hey now, conjoined twins are one of my biggest demographics!”

Out of all the celebs that should be allowed to use AI, Will has had to watch his AI avatar fumble through eating spaghetti more than any person probably wants to.
Also, he’s cringe so whatever.
Will Smith has been having a Kanye-esq descent into madness for several years now, so this comes as no surprise.
Edited to fix spelling error.
It all went downhill after he slapped Riss Ross in the penis.
I think you meant “descent”
Oops, I sure did!
You also meant “-esque”, unless Kanye is a licensed attorney.
Y’know, I even looked at it when I wrote it and thought “this doesn’t look right”, but posted it anyway. I’ll leave it to remind myself how stupid I am.
It’s okay! As long as people are able to understand it. Part of the reason what makes English so versatile.
Ah, yes. American English is known for its touting of literacy via morphological shifts.
These people are all businessmen at the end of the day.
They will do whatever they believe will make them the most amount of money for the least amount of effort.
I'm an expert in fake audiences: From Madden 94 to Madden 25, I've seen them all.
This is a pretty good fake audience: I'll give it a 13.
He should try adding Miis. I always like that you could find your friends in Wii games audiences.

That shit still terrifies me.
Why didn’t he at least try to hide it with horrible video compression?
I’m not up to date on celeb news. Is he the guy whose wife shat on his bed?
Or the other one that slapped someone on stage?
90s star of fresh price and bad boys, slapped someone on stage. Dunno about bedshitting
I believe that’s Depp & that one psycho that tried to take him to court to siphon more money out of him they’re referring to. 🤷🏼♂️
The slap one

Are we sure this isn’t a video google “enhanced with ai”.
It’s not likely, considering he’s got enough money to be a problem for them, but it would tie into thier plan to make everything look like slop so you can no longer tell what is slop.
I like the caption of “accused” like we can’t be certain that it is or isn’t AI.
