A new viral trend on the social media platform TikTok is the use of an aging filter to compare what a person looks like now with what they might look like decades into the future.

"Today" show co-host Jenna Bush Hagar used the special filter herself on-air and joked that she felt "trauma" when it made her look remarkably similar to her father, former President George W. Bush, People magazine reported.

The humorous moment prompted a more serious conversation with fellow co-host Hoda Kotb about living life to its fullest potential and taking advantage of the limited time everybody has on earth.

"Whoa. I look like my dad"

On Friday's episode of "Today with Hoda & Jenna," a segment was devoted to the new TikTok aging filter trend that has gone viral thanks to a number of well-known celebrities posting video clips of themselves using the comparative feature.

A staffer then brought a cell phone onto the set with the social media app and filter already prepared for use and gave it to the co-hosts for them to try for themselves. When Hagar held up the phone she paused and said with a laugh, "Whoa. I look like my dad."

"You kinda do look like your dad," Hotb said with a chuckle, and added, "You always say you’re like your dad but now you kinda look like him."

"Don't laugh at me!" Hagar proclaimed through her own giggles, and noted, "I’m a handsome woman," to which Hotb chimed in, "You look cute!"

Traumatized

Hotb then tried to advance the discussion on aging more broadly, but a seemingly stunned Hagar said, "I’m having a little bit of trauma. We said we didn’t care what we looked like but I do care!"

"I’m a very manly older person and that was just -- not expected. You look exactly the same and I look like a man," the former first daughter continued while her co-host was barely able to contain her laughter.

The discussion did grow a bit more serious after that as Hotb talked about losing her father at a young age while in college and Hagar shared a recent conversation she'd had with her husband about an artist they knew who recently died and was only a few decades older than them, and both co-hosts revealed how those experiences had shaped their respective outlooks on living life to the fullest.

AI-powered aging filter deemed "very accurate"

USA Today reported on the viral TikTok trend and noted that while this was far from the first aging filter on a social media app, this one did seem to be the most advanced and "very accurate" in terms of realistically displaying what a person would most likely look like in the next few decades.

That is because the TikTok aging filter uses artificial intelligence to map a person's face and enhance certain existing features, such as wrinkles and under-eye bags, and then further accentuates those features with the addition of things like crow's feet around the eyes and gray hair.

As of the time of that article, more than 9 million videos using the aging filter had been uploaded to the app to wildly mixed reviews that included some users embracing their potential future selves while others expressed dislike for their possible future visage.
