"It's an interesting example of how AI can be used as a tool. We tried prosthetics, we tried traditional CGI, everything else just looked terrifying."
"it's very clearly coming for blue collar VFX jobs in Hollywood, and we're probably not too far out from a $50 million Marvel movie that looks no worse than the recent batches of green screen battles."
Seth MacFarlane employed artificial intelligence to create a Bill Clinton character for Ted Season 2, replacing unsuccessful attempts with prosthetics and traditional CGI that appeared unsatisfactory. MacFarlane described the AI approach as an interesting tool application, noting that previous methods looked problematic. While the resulting Clinton character displays an unusually smooth facial appearance, the outcome represents a significant advancement in visual effects technology. This development signals AI's growing capability to replace traditional VFX methods in Hollywood, potentially impacting blue-collar visual effects jobs. Industry observers suggest major studio productions may soon utilize similar AI techniques without noticeable quality degradation.
