Accusations claim Will Smith used artificial intelligence to fabricate cheering crowds in promotional videos for his rap relaunch. Clips on Smith's official YouTube channel showed dense audiences chanting his name and waving hands in unison, prompting viewers to note glitches and repeated uniform motions among fans. Critics suggested the footage appeared digitally generated and speculated the comeback tour might lack organic support. Commenters posted derisive messages about AI abominations and bot comments. Representatives for Smith have not publicly responded, and the videos remain online. Smith's music career began in the mid-1980s with DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and produced mainstream hits and a Grammy.
Clips posted to Smith's official YouTube channel this month showed dense audiences chanting his name and waving their hands in unison during performances. But some viewers and social-media users quickly suggested the footage appeared digitally generated, pointing to glitches and the repeated, uniform motions of fans in the background. The claims have fueled speculation Smith's comeback tour may not be attracting the kind of organic support he hoped for.
The alleged use of AI-generated crowds comes at a delicate moment for Smith, 56, who first broke into music in the mid-1980s as part of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. The group's clean, narrative-driven style helped bring rap into the mainstream, with hits like "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime" winning a Grammy, which made Smith into one of the most recognizable rap voices of his generation.
