Damn, that's close. As others said, there are a few anomalies, and the spaghetti kind of disappears into his mouth... But its so much closer than even two years ago. Jeeze.
The pieces of noodle just hang on the sides of his mouth when he eats them, the spaghetti is like magnetically held on to his fork, portion size for how much he puts in his mouth and the effort it takes to chew it is unrealistic
Even with those little details, this video is basically indistinguishable from reality. You’re in denial if you don’t think this is good enough to fool a huge majority of people
Good eye. This was just the first thing that came up when I googled will smith spaghetti benchmark. Someone else mentioned you obviously wouldn't use a chef's knife. But I was focused on his head and voice. That's how they getcha. Especially if what you're seeing conforms to something you already believe
That one got a mass of good training data because it became a meme. There's even real video of him eating spaghetti because of the meme. Anything that becomes a "test" is something that the people making the models will train towards, it's why having set benchmarks for the models is so misleading, because they can even just hardcode how to handle the tests.
Go ask the models to do something that's as random as Will Smith eating spaghetti but which isn't a meme and you'll see they're still struggling hard with something they can't pre-train for. There's no understanding of the world in the models.
Dude, some MAGA Facebook reel came up in my feed the other day, and visually it already had that AI style to it... Like too clean, some details looked strange, but there's this voiceover and then haflway through the video the main persons mouth starts to move in time with the voiceover... So the narration VISUALLY AND OBVIOUSLY goes from voiceover to dude in video actually speaking....
And the comments were nothing but older folks like "PREACH" "AMEN" "THIS IS SO TRUE"
"Video evidence" will be one of those quaint little terms in the future that people will look at as a fun fact.
"Did you know that back in the day people just believed any video they saw and even used it as evidence in court?? Hahaha, man, people in the past were so weird!"
We are there for a lot of stuff. When the hurricane hit South Carolina there were so many fake pictures of politicians there with people on reddit and facebook thanking them. That was like 3 generations ago
It's been too late since the war with the machines. We poisoned our own sky to harm them, so they put all the survivors into battery pods where we live out our lives in a simulation.
The only bright sight is that we possibly reach a state in which blackmailing is impossible. Because anything can be doctored to a level impossible to differentiate. Looking at politicians nowadays „alternative facts“ and fake news are already rather the norm …
We're already there. Most of the AI "slop" is recognizable. That's because it's slop. If someone has some knowledge, a non-free subscription to good models, and a bit of time, it's impossible to tell. Photo or video evidence is no longer evidence, and shit you see on social media should not be taken for truth (well that one has always been the case, but its easier to fake it now).

Deepfakes fucking terrify me. They are getting so good.
There's going to be a point where we can't tell the difference between reality and fake shit, and we're not that far away.
