During the America’s Got Talent semi-finals, audiences were treated to one of the most surprising moments in the show’s history. Simon Cowell, Terry Crews, and Howie Mandel appeared to take the stage to perform the legendary opera anthem ‘Nessun Dorma.’
Moments later, it became clear that this was no ordinary performance. The act was created by Metaphysic, a company known for pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence.
Using advanced AI deepfake technology, three professional opera singers performed while their faces were seamlessly replaced with those of the AGT judges, creating the illusion that Simon, Terry, and Howie were singing in full operatic style.
The result was nothing short of astonishing. The audience erupted as ‘Terry Crews’ appeared to hit soaring high notes, leaving even Simon Cowell visibly stunned. Praising the performance, Simon said,
‘In terms of talent and originality, this isn’t just the best act of the night it’s the best act we’ve seen all season.’Howie Mandel added his trademark humor to the moment, joking,
‘It’s like Il Divo… but Il Stupido.’
