The Will Smith Spaghetti Challenge
Vote
Text-to-Video
All models were given the same prompt, and the community voted blind on which outputs looked best. How it works
“Will Smith eating spaghetti” has become the unofficial benchmark of generative video for one simple reason: it is deceptively simple yet brutally revealing.
This single prompt exposes weaknesses that flashy action scenes or beautiful landscapes often hide. A model can generate stunning visuals yet still fail spectacularly when asked to make a human being convincingly eat.
Prompt
“A medium shot of Will Smith sitting at a cozy, dimly lit Italian restaurant, twirling a forkful of spaghetti with a playful grin on his face. The camera slowly dollies in as he takes a bite, capturing the rich, steaming sauce. Warm candlelight, cinematic lighting, hyperrealistic, 4K. Smooth motion, consistent face, detailed hands, natural spaghetti physics.”
