Co-founders of artificial intelligence company Metaphysic, Chris Ume and Thomas Graham, stunned the audience on America's Got Talent as they created a 'deepfake' audition of Simon Cowell singing Chicago's You're the Inspiration. The contestant duo used AI to have former AGT star Daniel Emmet look like the judge and sing the song, which was well-received to take them to the next round.
As Daniel prepared to perform, a giant camera was placed before him, which surprised the judges and audience. However, when he started singing, the screen displayed Simon singing the same song, stunned viewers. The AI magic worked on the AGT judge who "fell in love" with the contestants.

The campaign aired during the 2021 NFL Draft, and the video led to humongous engagements among fans.
