Will Smith<\/a> has responded to the backlash for his recent AI-generated concert video by sharing another AI clip \u2013 check it out below.<\/p>\n

The rapper and actor\u00a0recently wrapped up his tour<\/a>\u00a0in support of\u00a0\u2018Based On A True Story\u2019<\/a> \u2013 his first studio album in 20 years, which came out in March. Last week, a video Smith shared on YouTube, showing highlights of the tour, made headlines as it appears some clips included had been made with AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shots of audience members, many of whom are crying, were called into question as they appeared to have blurred or distorted faces, while others appear to have oddly shaped hands or excess fingers. This went viral, with many criticising the actor<\/a> for having to artificially alter his crowds.<\/p>\n

Now, Smith has responded to the original video by posting yet another AI clip on social media. This time, the clip pokes fun at the people who complained about the fake-looking audience, swapping out several human heads for cat heads entirely.<\/p>\n

Check out the clip below.<\/p>\n

Smith has yet to formally address the accusations of digitally altering the concert video with AI. Green Day mocked the rapper-actor last week<\/a>, sharing a video from one of the recent shows on their South American tour, showing fans at the barrier near the stage singing along to \u2018Basket Case\u2019. The video was shared alongside the caption: \u201cDon\u2019t need AI for our crowds \ud83d\ude1c.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes during a period of controversy for AI technology in the music industry, with a recent study sharing the stark warning that\u00a0people working in music are likely to lose a quarter of their income to Artificial Intelligence over the next four years.<\/a><\/p>\n

Deezer also reported that around 10,000 AI-generated tracks are submitted to the platform daily<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 making up around 10 per cent of all its music uploads, and it has also emerged that\u00a0AI-generated songs are reportedly being uploaded to dead musicians\u2019 profiles<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Elton John<\/a>,\u00a0Coldplay<\/a>,\u00a0Dua Lipa<\/a>,\u00a0Paul McCartney<\/a>,\u00a0Florence Welch<\/a>,\u00a0Kate Bush<\/a> and Robbie Williams<\/a>\u00a0are among those who this year\u00a0called on the UK government to change copyright laws amid the threat from AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,\u00a0SZA<\/a>\u00a0has\u00a0hit out at AI users for being \u201ccodependent on a machine\u201d<\/a>, and\u00a0James Cameron<\/a>\u00a0has revealed\u00a0he is worried that the technology could lead to a real-life version of his film\u00a0The Terminator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other Will Smith news,\u00a0Michael Bay has left his position as director on the Smith\u2019s film\u00a0 Fast And Loose<\/a>, with creative differences being given as the reason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Smith has responded to the backlash for his recent AI-generated concert video by sharing another AI clip…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109011,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,678,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-109010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-rap","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
