Will Smith uses AI crowd to promote his tour
Will Smith has been accused of sharing a video that uses AI for shots of crowds cheering at his current summer tour.
The Hollywood actor and rapper kicked off the UK leg of his Based on a True Story tour in Scarborough on Sunday (24 August), in support of his recent album of the same name.
Ahead of the concerts, a video was shared from his official YouTube channel, titled: โMy favourite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too.โ
In the past week, the clip has been gaining attention as viewers claim it makes heavy use of AI for footage that seemingly shows his adoring fans crying and waving homemade signs.
Fans in the comments section of the YouTube video have called out the Fresh Prince of Bel Air star for showing what they branded a โfake AI crowdโ.
โImagine being this rich and famous and having to use AI footage of crowdsโฆ Tragic, man,โ one critic said.
