A few years ago, AI video could barely make Will Smith eat spaghetti without the whole scene falling apart. The face warped, the hands broke, the spaghetti moved like it was alive, and the clip instantly became one of the internet’s funniest AI memes. Now that same clip has basically become the unofficial benchmark for AI progress. Every new video model gets judged by the same question: Can it finally make Will Smith eating spaghetti look real? That is what makes the comparison so funny. Out of all the possible ways to measure AI progress, the internet somehow picked a man eating pasta as the standard. But it actually works. Food, hands, faces, mouths, motion, and timing are all things AI video used to struggle with badly. So when the newer versions start looking clean, it shows how much the technology has changed in such a short amount of time. What used to look like nightmare fuel is turning into something that almost looks real. And the benchmark is still spaghetti.

@longliveaiWatching it in its original place is always the most accurate source.
A multiplier needs two things: a trustworthy publish date and a duration. At least one is missing on this record (on Instagram the publish date is often just the collection time) — so we are not making a multiplier up.

The numbers
All of it comes from the API. If a value is missing you see a dash — nothing is estimated in its place.
📈 Growth history
The real view record that builds up as we measure the video again and again.
Only a small share of the videos in our pool have more than one real measurement. This one was measured once (or always at the same value) — rather than drawing a meaningless flat line, we say so.

🔍 Deep Analysis
Open this video with AI
The numbers above tell you how well the video is doing. The AI Lab looks inside it: it reads the opening frame, the edit and the sound, and answers “how would you do this”.
- Hook score (0–10) and why it stops the scroll
- First 3 seconds — opening frame and composition
- Why it went viral — one clear answer
- Edit / structure — how the video is built
- Target audience + music/sound strategy
- Actionable recipe — step by step, how you catch it
