Creator of AI actress Tilly Norwood speaks at Zurich Film Festival’s Summit.

AI actor Tilly Norwood questioned a journalist during an unusual interview that reversed the traditional format.

“I've been fine tuning some #Ai models on my own image. #Ai #VirtualActor #AiModel #AiActor Would you hire me to be in your movie or TV commercial?”

A controversial new comedy film, Misaligned, is set to star Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated 'actor' created by Particle6 Productions. The film, described as a hybrid of traditional filmmaking and AI technology, has faced significant criticism from Hollywood professionals and unions. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) condemned Norwood as a computer-generated character lacking life experience and emotion. Prominent actors like Amy Poehler and Toni Colette have also criticized the project, with Poehler mocking Norwood as a 'stupid robot' incapable of writing jokes. Despite the backlash, creator Eline van der Velden defends the project, arguing AI is a new creative tool rather than a replacement for human artistry. The film's plot follows Norwood as an AI character navigating a 'Tillyverse' where she accesses others' life experiences but lacks her own. Van der Velden emphasizes that AI should complement, not replace, human storytelling, stating that successful filmmakers will integrate decades of narrative expertise with new technologies. The film is in early development with no release date set, sparking ongoing debates about the role of AI in cinema.
