<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will Smith is being accused of using AI-generated footage of fans singing along to his music.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The rap artist and movie star has been staging a comeback to the music scene with the release of a new album, “Based on a True Story,” earlier this year. The new music didn’t get great reviews, with one </span><a href="https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/will-smith-based-on-a-true-story/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reviewer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> calling it “corny” and “calculated.” Now, a hype video posted to the singer’s official YouTube page is causing even more drama.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fans pointed out that the people in the background of some clips have distorted appearances and extra limbs, and they are engaging in repetitive motions similar to those found in AI-generated video content. Their reactions call Smith out for the video, which is titled “My favorite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As of Wednesday, neither Smith nor his rep has commented publicly about the video, and it remains available to view on YouTube. </span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="My favorite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too ❤️" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5-4De-zNTT4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ok, this guy definitely has a humiliation fetish. No other explanation for releasing a crowd of AI abominations holding up misspelled signs about how he saved their lives,” one popular comment under the video says.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s over, bro. Just enjoy your retirement,” another comment says.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Imagine being this rich and famous and having to use AI footage of crowds and bot comments on your video. Tragic, man. You used to be cool,” a third viewer added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the album, Smith </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/will-smith-references-infamous-oscars-slap-on-his-first-album-drop-in-20-years?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Will+Smith+References+Infamous+Oscars+Slap+On+His+First+Album+Drop+In+20+Years"><span style="font-weight: 400;">referenced</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the infamous moment at the 2022 Academy Awards when he slapped presenter Chris Rock across the face.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of his new song lyrics says, “I heard he won the Oscar but he had to give it back/ And you know they only made him do that sh** because he’s black.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another line in the song mentions the incident again: “Him and Jada both crazy girl, what you talkin’ bout?/ You better keep his wife’s name out of your mouth.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The album’s second song, “You Lookin’ for Me?” also references the drama in his personal life. The lyrics say, “Took a lot, I’m back on top/Y’all gon’ have to get acclimated/Won’t stop, my sh** still hot/ Even though I won’t get nominated.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Previously, Smith mentioned that he had received guidance from Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar for the new album. He said Jay-Z told him to “be true to your story,” which helped inspire the title. Lamar told Smith to “say that sh** you always been scared to say.”</span></p>
