"Over the past few years, actor, rapper, and slapper Will Smith has been the subject of a grotesque meme in AI is used to show him gobbling down on nightmarish squelching spaghetti. It now seems that the 56-year-old "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star's team has used the tech to soup up concert footage from his would-be comeback tour - and it strongly appears that the purpose was to make an underwhelming crowd look like they're still filled with love for Smith's much-lampooned career trajectory."

Just look at this gentleman who appears partway through, his passion for Will Smith expressed through an inverted rictus never before seen on a living human face as he holds aloft a sign saying that Smith's mostly forgotten 2024 single "You Can Make It" helped him "survive cancer." For extra nightmare fuel, check out some of those visages in the background - and oh yeah, why is another person's hand morphing into the man's grasp on his sign?"
