What happened
Dinner was a single dish, spaghetti, served to 76,400 guests who were asked to eat it the way the AI did: from several directions at once, occasionally through the cheek. It was the messiest edition to date. The committee has adopted the footage as its benchmark and will declare AI finished when a model can match it.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
Elsewhere in 2023
An AI-generated video of actor Will Smith eating spaghetti, made with the ModelScope text-to-video model, goes viral.
