We trained an AI language model (GPT-4) to type in a manner reminiscent of our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, and then presented it with our interview questions. To bring the responses to life, we are joined by Fritz Klein, one of the nation's most renowned Abraham Lincoln performers. Klein's embodiment of Lincoln captures the essence of Lincoln's character, blending historical accuracy with Lincoln's distinctive humor and humanity. His performances are well-researched, ensuring that each portrayal is faithful as possible to the historical figure's legacy, making him an ideal choice to voice the AI-generated responses of Lincoln.

A version of this conversation originally aired on Feb. 20, 2024.
