Watch Will Smith, Scarlett Johansson’s hilariously bad AI video

• The Internet is going crazy over clips produced by the text-to-video AI generator ModelScope.
• Twitter users have called clips like Will Smith eating spaghetti “cursed.”
• The AI-generated video follows a recent AI-generated photo of the pope that went viral.

The internet is going crazy over AI-generated videos that are horrendous to watch.

There’s a nightmare compilation of “Will Smith eating spaghetti” that has garnered 1.8 million views on Twitter, and a cartoonish version of the “Men in Black” star eating a handful of spaghetti. I am pushing it into my mouth. A similar video was posted of actress Scarlett Johansson devouring pasta.

viewer called video “Cursed” ‘It makes me terribly anxious’ and “super creepy”

These videos were created using ModelScope Text to Video Synthesis, a free AI video generator launched last week by AI company Hugging Face. Users enter prompts like “Beyoncé walking 30 dogs” or “Spider-Man surfing” and the bot spits out clips within minutes.

Generators can also depict violence in graphic detail. One of his Reddit users made a video of Joe Rogan fighting a bear. His dramatic 17-second clip depicts a podcast host boxing a bear to death, transforming into a bear and eating its fleshy remains.

One Reddit user said, “This is maniacal dream shit.”

Redditors also shared clips of Jordan Peterson drinking apple cider vinegar, Emmanuel Macron fighting an orangutan, and a zombie apocalypse movie.

Despite the AI’s prowess, the videos are of poor quality and stamped with the Shutterstock watermark. This may be because, according to Vice, the Modelscope tool is trained on images collected from stock photo sites.

A spokesperson for Hugging Face directed Insider to a blog post explaining the model behind the generator. The post states that the model was trained on public datasets such as her Webvid and was “not trained to realistically represent people and events.”

The clip comes as AI image generators like DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney take the internet by storm. The images they produce look eerily realistic, but they’re not perfect. For example, tools like DALL-E have been found to add extra fingers to the hand, reports The New Yorker.

We also know that AI image generators can produce images that reflect racial and gender stereotypes and spread misinformation. , sparking a debate about the ethics of AI image generators.
