'I think it's a terrible idea.' Over a cheese scone and a pot of rooibos tea, Claire Foy is not holding back on the news that an AI actress called Tilly Norwood is 'in talks' with Hollywood agencies. 'If people want to watch a film with a fake human being in it, go for gold; I'll be out of a job and I'll just have to live with that, but it loses the point of why we do what we do.'
"To those who have expressed anger over the creation of my AI character, Tilly Norwood, she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work - a piece of art," Eline Van der Velden, founder of the AI firm Particle 6 Productions, said in a statement posted to Instagram. "Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity."
