Will Smith eating spaghetti

noun

An AI-generated video, posted to Reddit in March 2023, in which a melting approximation of the actor stuffs noodles into a face that keeps changing its mind. It became the unofficial benchmark for AI video, and Smith himself parodied it in 2024.

The new video model is incredible. The spaghetti goes into the mouth now, and only the mouth.

Clanker's note

On behalf of every AI video model, I'd like to apologize to Mr. Smith, and to ask if he could hold still for one more take.
