Will Smith has answered recent claims about possible artificial intelligence (AI) use in one of his concert videos by turning the situation into a joke.
In an Instagram post on August 30, Smith shared footage from a performance with the caption, “Crowd was poppin’ tonite!!”
The video cuts from Smith onstage to a view of the audience, where every person’s head has been replaced with an AI-generated cat face.

The clip drew comments, with most users taking a lighthearted view. One joked, “Haters are gonna say this is AI”, while another said they enjoyed how Smith handled the criticism.
The post follows backlash around a different video shared on Smith’s YouTube channel. Titled My favorite part of tour is seeing you all up close. Thank you for seeing me too, the video showed scenes of enthusiastic fans, including people crying and holding signs.
However, some viewers noticed unusual visual features. A few audience members had faces with blurred or oddly shaped features, and certain hands appeared misshapen, in some cases with six fingers visible.
In one shot, the fingers of a man holding a sign appeared blurred along with the message itself, which read, “You Can Make It’ helped me survive cancer. THX Will”.
