AI Actress Tilly Norwood Divides Hollywood: Critics vs. Creator
AI-generated actress Tilly Norwood has sparked controversy in Hollywood. Director Reed Morano and actor Abigail Breslin have criticized her, while her creator, Eline Van der Velden, defends her as art. Meanwhile, talent agencies are hesitant to sign her.
Morano and Breslin argue that AI actors like Tilly lack life experience and humanity, making them unsuitable replacements for human performers. Van der Velden, CEO of Particle6 and former actor, counters that Tilly is not meant to replace humans but rather to expand the definition of acting. Tilly's acting portfolio is limited, with her sketch 'AI Commissioner' described as 'pointless and creepy'.
Particle6 has announced a new AI talent studio, Xicoia, with Tilly as their first model. The studio aims to create 'hyperreal digital stars'. However, the actors' union SAG-AFTRA opposes the replacement of human performers by synthetics. Major talent agencies have publicly shied away from signing Tilly, and actor Mara Wilson has questioned the origin of Tilly's face, calling creators 'identity thieves'.
Tilly Norwood's future in the entertainment industry remains uncertain. While some see her as a groundbreaking form of art, others fear she could replace human actors. As discussions with talent agencies continue, the debate surrounding AI actors rages on.
