The act chooses a fitting and high-energy anthem for their performance: “This is the Greatest Show” from the movie The Greatest Showman. As the music begins, the audience and judges are immediately drawn in by the powerful, familiar song, though the true nature of the “AI act” is not yet fully revealed, creating massive anticipation for the visual twist.
The technological element of the act is the centerpiece of the comedy. The performers use deepfake technology to seamlessly project the faces and likenesses of all four Britain’s Got Talent judges—Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli—onto the bodies of the singers . This surreal visual gag, with the judges essentially performing to themselves, instantly sends the real panel and the audience into a fit of laughter .
The performance is not merely a technical demonstration but a full, high-energy musical routine. The illusion of the judges singing and dancing along to the song is executed flawlessly, maximizing the comedic effect. The performance is so engaging and successful that judge Bruno Tonioli exclaims, “I couldn’t take my eyes off him,” before playfully asking the performers how they managed to use his face from pictures on the internet .
After the applause, the performers deliver a message, explaining that they came on the show to combat the “huge misconcept that AI is some sort of alien robot that will steal your job”. Simon Cowell provides his critique, acknowledging the act’s unique approach, declaring, “That was really, really good… and it did feel original and it did feel different and it was brilliant” .
The originality and entertainment value of the technological stunt prove to be a complete success. The judges, who were thoroughly charmed and amused by the innovative performance, enthusiastically award the act a unanimous verdict. All four judges vote “Yes,” sending the groundbreaking AI performance through to the next stage of the competition [04:25].
