Earlier this month, footage was released, where one of Will Smith's gigs was allegedly generated by AI.
Snopes agreed that the crowd shots feature “some AI operations.” You can watch the following videos:

Viewers of Eagle's eyes paused the footage discovered some signs of a Telltail. In other words, the ai 'fans' in the video look like humans, and alien creatures from horror movies who are desperate to suck your soul. Their hands were long and slender, holding more fingers than the children in incest relationships, but their blurred facial features resemble melted candles in the shape of ghouls.
Nevertheless, it turns out that the emotional slogan was genuine and held by real Smith fans. Switzerland's Patrick and Geraldine “helped us to help us to “make it.” “THX Will.” I held up a sign saying. And to be fair to Smith, the huge crowd on the video appears to have been real.
Green Day laughed at Smith on Instagram and posted a shot of the fans on the gig in the caption. “Crowds don't need AI.”
However, while his motivation seems to merely be to generate AI videos from Stills, Smith's is unlikely to be the last example of a performer using AI footage from fans. All music artists want a completely fiery emotional stadium crowd, hysterical with joy in seeing idols. So, unlike Smith, if you personally can't get the real footage, why not forge it? (Perhaps because the internet is full of merciless, critical detectives who intend to roast you until you become a smoking mountain of burnt ruins.)
Donald Trump's team is said to have paid extras to appear at his rally to fill seats at the spare stadium, but that's expensive and dangerous as people may not show up. Generating AI images is much cheaper, even if you burn wood.
It can also make the crowd attractive, young, unisex, and as attractive as you would like, and ethnically diverse. Even if the pause button reveals that I'm even more frightening than the legendary zombie.
