Melissa Barrera, Natasha Lyonne, and Whoopi Goldberg are among multiple celebrities who have reacted with disgust to reports that talent agencies are interested in signing the AI avatar to star in real projects. Following the backlash, Tilly's creator issued a statement standing ten toes down for tech that infamously struggles with hands and feet."
""We want Tilly to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, that's the aim of what we're doing," van der Velden told Broadcast International in July. The character's first onscreen appearance was in the two-minute Particle6 comedy sketch "AI Commissioner," which used ten pieces of AI software to bring a script initially generated by ChatGPT to life."
