Will Smith has been on a questionable path since his infamous Chris Rock slap at the Oscars (though some would argue the cracks showed long before). Either way, the Fresh Prince doesn’t quite hold the same celebrity lore he did in the 90s. In what feels like an attempt to revamp his career, Smith has returned to his early hip-hop roots with Based on a True Story, his first album in 20 years.
He’s currently touring the record, though some fans suggest the shows aren’t drawing the energy he might have hoped for. But when the crowd isn’t big enough, why not just AI one? That seems to be the case in a new video Smith shared on social media.
Captioned “My favorite part of tour is seeing you all up close…,” the clip mixes what appears to be real concert footage with several shots that look suspiciously AI-generated. Think distorted faces, garbled fan signs, and, according to one user, someone clapping with a mysterious third arm... perhaps giving Big Willy a three-hand standing ovation.
You can decide for yourself if you think it’s AI trickery or not. Check out the footage below.
