Seth MacFarlane’s AI of Past President Portrayal on ‘Ted’ Goes Viral

In season two of “Ted,” Seth MacFarlane turned himself into a very realistic past president in a hilarious scene in a doughnut shop using AI.

“I’ve been doing my Bill Clinton impression since the early days of Family Guy,” MacFarlane told the Associated Press. “It’s an interesting example of how AI can be used as a tool and not necessarily trample on the art that the rest of the industry is doing. We tried prosthetics, we tried traditional CGI, and everything just looked terrifying. So we just said, ‘To hell with it, let’s try AI.’ It worked. It was the only way to look like Bill Clinton.”
