A new 'AI actress' has Hollywood fuming

The name is Tilly Norwood Norwood.

She appears to be a fresh faced young woman whose post about pursuing an acting career.

Watch this.

Let's get to know each other.

And thanks for watching.

The reason this is getting attention is this actress is completely AI generated by a company called Particle Six.

Tillie Norwood, 100% A.I.

generated by some company called Particle Six.

She'll do anything I say.

I'm already in love.

Girl next door vibes.

Like if a Sunday roast went to drama school and got BAFTA optimized.

But can she cry on Graham Norton?

Of course she can.

And it will be clipped.

Subtitled and monetized on TikTok by lunchtime.

And Tilly Norwood has human actors quite a bit upset and definitely speaking out this morning.

Major stars speaking up saying that the AI this was trained using their work without their permission and without compensation.

That’s where Clare Duffy comes in to tell us about all of this and why this one seems different than other things.

Yeah, I mean, it's really striking from that clip that you just played there that the first mainstream version of this, we've seen they’re advertising it by saying this is a young woman who will do whatever we say we want.

This speaks to the concerns that AI actor, not AI actors, human actors, as well as other creatives writers directors have been having that.

Their work has been used to train these AI systems, and that then those AI systems could go on to replace them.

So this really has sparked backlash in particular, after there were reports that Hollywood talent agents had been looking to sign Tilly Norwood to shop out for acting gigs.

We've seen a number of mainstream actors turning to this Instagram page to express their frustration.

I just want to read some of these comments.

Cameron Cooper says this is incredibly thoughtless and frankly, disturbing.

I hope this backfires in every way, humanly and well, not humanly possible.

Mara Wilson says, you didn't make this.

Hundreds of real workers, real photographers, camera operators heck even farmers who made this, you took their work and pretended it was yours.

And Sophie Turner says simply, wow, no thanks.

We also are now seeing a statement from the actors union Sag-Aftra, which says Sag-Aftra believes creativity is and should remain human centered.

The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.

And they also say that they don't think that people want to see this AI generated media.

Now, the creator of this AI, actress, Eline van der Velden, she's founder of this company, Particle6, She says this wasn't meant to replace human actors.

She says but I have to imagine that's cold comfort to the actors.

Like this wouldn't exist without their work, and we're only going to see more and more of this.

And where that line is, where that line is defined and when it is passed, if it is of like live actors and very much created, not live actors in replacing them.

It's good to see you.

Thank you so much.
