AI actress Tilly Norwood takes the spotlight, prompting debate and outcry in Hollywood
""..is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work -- a piece of art.. AI characters should be judged as part of their own genre, on their own merits, rather than compared directly with human actors.""
""You are suddenly up against something that's been generated with 5,000 other actors. It's been given all of these.. you know, it's got Bette Davis' attitude, it's got this one, it's got Humphrey Bogart's humor. So, it's a little bit of an unfair advantage.""
""Movies are great, but you know what would be better is if the characters in them weren't played by actual humans but by AI replicas approximating human emotion.""
Tilly Norwood is an AI-generated actress created by Eline Van der Velden's AI talent company. Tilly maintains social media profiles with screen tests and a posted video claiming a first on-camera role. Multiple talent agencies have shown interest in representing Tilly, prompting reactions from established actors. Emily Blunt called the development "really, really scary," Simu Liu questioned AI replicas approximating human emotion, and Whoopi Goldberg warned of unfair advantages from aggregated traits. Van der Velden describes Tilly as a creative work rather than a human replacement and has envisioned major-screen ambition. The fashion industry also faces related scrutiny, with brands like Guess and J.Crew mentioned.
