Google’s Veo 3 AI video generation model has been put to the “Will Smith eating spaghetti” test, which has become a popular metric for evaluating the realism of AI-generated videos.
Users have generated videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti using Veo 3, and the results have shown significant improvements in realism. The videos are so realistic that they have caused concern.

On 27 March 2023, a Reddit user named “chaindrop” shared an AI-generated video of Will Smith eating spaghetti. All images and the video were generated using Stable Diffusion, a deep learning, text-to-image model released in 2022 based on diffusion techniques. Stable Diffusion integrates ModelScope’s text-to-video models into its Web UI.
As ARS Technica noted, “at the time, the Smith example wasn’t the best AI video generator out there – a video synthesis model called Gen-2 from Runway had already achieved superior results (though it was not yet publicly accessible).”
Originally, the video had no sound. Later sounds were added to create the version shown below. According to the description under the video on YouTube, the voices were generated using Elevenlabs.
Anyone would have been able to discern that the video was AI-generated because of the impossible hand movements and grotesque facial contortions. As it received much attention at the time, this video became the informal benchmark against which AI-generated videos could be compared.
On 20 May, Google launched Veo 3, a new AI video generator. AI app developer Javi Lopez was the first to perform “the Smith test” and posted his results on Twitter (now X) two days later. Except for AI erroneously inserting crunching noises, as if eating spaghetti sounds like crunching on raw vegetables, AI can generate a convincing “Will Smith doppelganger smoothly twirling linguine,” as Quartz describes it.
“This isn’t the steady march of technological progress we’re used to. It’s a cliff jump that has left experts, filmmakers, and society scrambling to understand what just happened. The sudden leap from obviously fake AI videos to nearly indistinguishable synthetic content represents one of the most dramatic capability jumps in recent tech history,” Quartz said.
Some appear to be thrilled with the development, such as AI enthusiast Endrit:

We all laughed at AI Will Smith eating spaghetti.
Now, look at the quality we have today.
It's not perfect, but if AI can achieve this in less than a year, imagine what will be possible in the next few years or even months…

However, the problems for the world are obvious, as summed up by Joe Harker on LADbible, “Once AI can create videos that are indistinguishable from the real thing we might be irrevocably screwed.”
Forbes warned that the Dead Internet Theory is coming, noting that not only can entire realistic videos now be AI-generated but that “AI is also being used for face filters, altering real videos into deep fakes, making the deception all the more difficult to spot,” the outlet said.
“Social media users will have to train their eyes to spot the fakes, but not everyone is going to be able to do so, and scrolling culture doesn’t encourage careful examination,” Forbes said. To which we add, social media is not the only place where fakes will be used. Corporate media outlets known for disseminating propaganda and running PsyOps should also be scrutinised for AI-generated images and videos.
