Will Smith Mocked After Allegedly Adding Crowd Into Tour Video With A.I.
They’re saying he’s on his “Katy Perry” arc.

Will Smith is trying, and failing, to re-enter the rap game. After an embarrassing single entitled “I Like Pretty Girls” and a freestyle that sounded less “professional rapper” and more “fun dad at the barbecue,” he’s now embarking on a tour that promises to place him in front of dozens of his rap fans.
What, you think he has more than a few dozen fans? If that’s the case, why did they have to add so many into his concert footage using A.I.?
At least, that’s the allegation. In a recent video posted to his YouTube account titled “My Favourite Part of Tour Is Seeing You All Up Close. Thank You for Seeing Me Too,” something about the crowd seems off. Faces are distorted, hands look and move in ways that they shouldn’t, and everyone has that uncanny-valley smoothness characteristic of computer-generated content. This has led many to allege that the Fresh Prince employed A.I. to juice his crowd shots.
That said, some say it’s just low quality footage that’s been upscaled with A.I. Whatever it is, I don’t like it.
