Will Smith AI Spaghetti: Google’s Robot Eats Crunchy Pasta
- Google's new Veo 3, an AI video synthesis model, launched Tuesday with a feature previously unseen in major AI video generators: synchronized audio.
- Almost promptly after the launch, the question arose: How well could Veo 3 simulate actor Will smith eating spaghetti?
- the "Will Smith spaghetti test" dates back to March 2023.
Google’s Veo 3 AI video generator now includes synchronized audio, a leap forward in AI video technology. The crucial test? Could Veo 3 accurately depict Will Smith eating spaghetti? Early results, demonstrated by AI developer Javi Lopez, revealed a surprising outcome—crunchy spaghetti. This unusual sound effect likely stems from the model’s pattern-matching process and training data. Analyzing the “Will Smith spaghetti test” shows how even synchronized audio can lead to glitches with generative AI, a sign that refinement of training data is still needed.News Directory 3 keeps you informed about the latest developments in the rapidly evolving world of AI.

Google’s Veo 3 AI Faces the Will Smith Spaghetti Test
Google’s new Veo 3, an AI video synthesis model, launched Tuesday with a feature previously unseen in major AI video generators: synchronized audio. Early AI video efforts from 2022 to 2024 produced silent, short clips. Veo 3 now generates eight-second, high-definition videos with voices, dialog, and sound effects.
Almost promptly after the launch, the question arose: How well could Veo 3 simulate actor Will smith eating spaghetti?
the “Will Smith spaghetti test” dates back to March 2023. An early, somewhat unsettling AI-generated video using the ModelScope model gained notoriety. Smith himself parodied the video in February 2024.
Javi Lopez used Google’s Veo 3 AI video generator to create this video of “Will Smith eating spaghetti.”
Javi Lopez, an AI app developer, put Veo 3 to the test and posted the results on X. The generated video features a faux Smith seemingly crunching on the spaghetti.
The crunching sound is highly likely a glitch stemming from Veo 3’s experimental sound effect request. The AI models’ training data likely contained numerous examples of chewing sounds, leading to the unexpected result. Generative AI models rely on pattern matching, and skewed training data can produce unusual outputs.
What’s next
As AI video generation technology advances, developers will refine training data to eliminate glitches and improve the realism of generated content.
