On Feb. 17, 2023, the purported celebrity gossip YouTube channel Just In (@JustInCeleb) published a video and thumbnail image that claimed Oscar-winning actor Will Smith had confronted fellow actor Jim Carrey in a video call for "humiliating him on live TV."
The clip's title read, "Will Smith CONFRONTS Jim Carrey For HUMILIATING Him On Live TV."
Since February, the video was viewed just over 2.5 million times on YouTube. The same video was also reposted on TikTok in September. It may also have been reposted on other similar TikTok accounts that we had witnessed disappearing in recent weeks.
This clip's narration, scripting, sequencing and thumbnail image all looked to have been a product of artificial intelligence (AI), video-creation tools.

The faces in the thumbnail image were fake, as were the quotes.
The video (archived) and its AI-generated narrator voice began as follows:
