Seth MacFarlane Uses AI For Clinton Cameo
6.1
Seth MacFarlane recently said he used artificial intelligence to portray President Bill Clinton in a cameo episode of Ted Season 2, now streaming on Peacock. After prosthetics and traditional CGI failed to produce a convincing likeness, MacFarlane said AI was the only viable method for the scene in 'The Sword in the Stoned.' He framed the tool as augmenting rather than replacing creative work.
