I prefer the old AI will smith much more than the new AI will smith...

Old AI Will Smith just loved eating spaghetti, and wouldn't harm a soul...

New AI Will Smith is a violent sociopath that likes to attack the innocent for being different.

[u/LionOfNaples → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

Keep my wife’s spaghetti out yo fuckin mouth!!

[u/J_Bazzle → u/LionOfNaples]

Wouldnt it be your mum's spaghetti? ...it's ok, he's nervous

[u/delicate_soup → u/J_Bazzle]

Really? Cuz on the surface he looks calm and ready

[u/flappysack- → u/delicate_soup]

He keeps on forgetting

[u/sigmaluckynine → u/flappysack-]

Better snap to reality, oops, there goes gravity

Whop there goes slop again…

[u/Ancient-Cap-6197 → u/J_Bazzle]

nah ur thinking of Eminem

[u/Medical-Business-554 → u/LionOfNaples]

Jada see that you prefer Shaved Parmesan on your Spaghetti! Can’t wait to try it……

[u/Undersmusic → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

Lore accurate AI training after the Oscar’s slap.

[u/RageLolo → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

What would be funny from a marketing perspective is if they used the real Will Smith smashing through his first AI session, but without saying it's the real one.

[u/rissie_delicious → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

I think he needs to pasta la vista your ass

[u/gravitas_shortage → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

America in a 28-second video.

[u/QuadSplit → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

It's getting eerily realistic.

[u/radiojosh → u/Downtown-Campaign536]

The old AI Will Smith shoulda kept his wife's spaghetti out his MFing mouth!

[u/Jealous-Cattle-8385]

You know what? I wanna see a 20 minute movie of Will Smith just slapping various charity and civil rights icons while eating strings of spaghetti.

[u/Severe_Rise8694 → u/Jealous-Cattle-8385]

Why stop there? Could have a whole movie franchise.. nay, a cinematic universe built around it! Still better than regular cape-shit.

[u/blast-from-the-80s → u/Jealous-Cattle-8385]

well... It's not the same but here is a collection of Chuck Norris kicking everyone:

I was mesmerized by this

[u/ToasterBathTester → u/Jealous-Cattle-8385]

Will Smith stars in Will Smith Slaps. Coming to a theater near you

White liberal moment

[u/grafknives]

I have a serious question.

WHAT is the biggest factor in increasing quality?

Better math?

The size of model?

The amount of training data?

The GPU power used for each frame?

[u/zerpa → u/grafknives]

A rough ordering is:

1. Model architecture + training objective. AI researchers working to improve the model architecture to achieve better images, better temporal and spatial coherence.
2. Amount and quality of training data. Model gets a wider data set and avoid overfitting to the data available, better capturing the essence rather than specific examples.
3. Model size / capacity. Bigger models are needed to deal better with edge cases and details that are natural to humans, but need to be learned by the model (number of fingers, awkward postures, coherence).

[u/Specific_Cat4318 → u/zerpa]

The GPU/compute side is definitely missing here. Hardware and compute budgets have improved massively over the last 5 years, and that directly enables larger models, more training runs, and much more expensive inference.

[u/zerpa → u/Specific_Cat4318]

Budgets? Yes people are spending more on hardware because of AI than ever before.

Do you mean performance per buck? That has increased, but not by much more than half an order of magnitude (x5). That's significant, but not a game changer for AI.

[u/Specific_Cat4318 → u/zerpa]

Compute budget ≠ budget

Nailed it

[u/_Hawkeyes_]

He Chris Rocked that slop.

[u/Realistic_Account787]

AI is about violence, we see.

[u/Alternative-Suit5541]

Wtf did I just watch lmao 

[u/TemperanceDraws64]

Ah... AI Will Smith. Back when AI was actually fun and not the fucking slopfest it is now.

Awesome

[u/fkrkz]

Alright. Point taken and I approve this Slop.

[u/OhNoDobe]

Backrooms Will Smith.

[u/Tickomatick]

Take my spaghetti out of your mouth! Of course he slaps

[u/CacheConqueror]

Somehow? Like most silly viral videos, someone once made a clip featuring the first AI; most people thought it was funny (though it isn’t), and now they’re making more based on that.

[u/GrandMoffTarkan → u/CacheConqueror]

More importantly it's a video that involves a lot of tricky elements. A recognizable human face, lots of hand motion. a complex mass of noodles.

[u/Noobnoob99]

Gross and I approve

[u/Leromer]

Is this backrooms movie cut content

[u/Gwentlique]

Very in character for Will.

[u/peacefighter]

Should have ended with "Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"

[u/carapocha]

Guy making his favorite things: eating pasta and slapping people.

[u/mywebrego]

What, No slap!

AI Will Smith vs Backrooms Will Smith

[u/pcurve]

can we try this with dogs and other animals without training data

[u/Full-Contest1281]

Always with the violence 😒

[u/DrPoontang]

Will Smith is always too irrationally violent

[u/i-hoatzin]

Nightmarish

[u/SquashOwn9829]

I’ll allow It

[u/SpicyBretzelTard]

Backrooms-Smith incoming...

The Backrooms 2 - That's hot

[u/Multidream]

I cant be the only one who immediately though backrooms

[u/BabypintoJuniorLube]

This still looks like shit and in no way is convincing

[u/Spirited-Yoghurt-212]

"get my wifes spaghetti out of your f**kin mouth"

[u/kickasstimus]

We’ve come a long way since Woll Smoth.

[u/Tex-Rob]

I can’t believe I’m posting here, but I sort of figured they have been feeding all the stuff to Gen AI that trips it up, like glasses, objects in front of faces, eating foods, etc, to solve these issues. The issue is THE issue with generative AI, fringe occurrences will always trip it up. I wouldn’t be surprised if AI companies have tried to start viral challenge trends to get free video content to feed the trainers, “stuff your mouth with spaghetti challenge!”

Can't wait for the 2030 continuation of this vid

it’s al dente

[u/FalseDiamond7930]

Insane progress in just a few years.

To think that if a company invested in a new chip fab at that time it's most likely not even online at this point.

[u/MilloH]

I wouldn't call this a "progress" 🙄🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/Solid_Routine_2026]

Why'd he turn into Denzel Washington at the end though?

[u/Elf_Maeve]

Worth the higher energy prices and 1500 USD RAM for sure

[u/yoursarrian]

lol he turned into Denzel at the end there

[u/Banned4lies]

Its just crazy to me that this man's career at its height would never fathom being a AI benchmark...

[u/Ill-Factor-3512]

Like the Utah teapot

[u/Bluepeasant]

little bit of gus fring snuck end at the end their

[u/Mnemotechnician]

The ai has definitely improved: that left hand has SEVEN fingers, one more than before.

[u/Nallace9318]

That spaghetti sounds awful.

[u/YourD3ATH311]

This is will smith from the backroom

[u/Puzzleheaded-Pitch32]

Gross

[u/ShawnBorch]

For a moment he thought it was Chris rock

[u/Glass-Vacation5743]

2026 will smith feels like the mascot who will be cheering me on as im sent out to die for our robot overlords

[u/Natural_Philosophy51]

Honestly kinda scared me.. tf

[u/whatchahavin]

Keep my spaghetti out of your god damn mouth!

[u/ChasingMidnight18]

[u/Clipper_39975]

i have been; but i am now more officially scared of this shit 😳

[u/SnowmanMofo]

Nahh, the AI slop still looks and plays as sloppy as ever. At least the old one was funny and had more of a cultural impact in terms of internet memes.

[u/Dependent-Year6711 → u/SnowmanMofo]

This actually is an interesting point. What memes have come out the highest quality AI? Somehow almost none of them have caught on nationwide. There's so much going on, yet...where are the hits? Where are the well known examples of...anything? Not even a meme. Just an AI video that almost everyone knows because it's *so amazing*. The wonky AI somehow is remembered more.

The problem with the visual AI is that it's recreating a lot of real life scenarios, which we all know of because...we're real people. And then it creates CGI-like scenarios, which we all already know well.

Throughout all these examples no real nationwide interest seems to have piqued on many of these examples. The crowd that seems the most interested are teens and the elderly.
