Social media can be an excellent gauge for how the general populace feels about a given topic. One recent example? When a demo reel of AI actress Tilly Norwood started circulating recently on Instagram and other apps, and then Eline van der Velden–the Founder and CEO of AI media firm Particle6 who is behind the AI actress–posted about it on her Instagram feed, people went a little crazy.

Tell me what you really think was my first reaction scrolling through the comments, including some that said Norwood will take real jobs away from working actors.

The general consensus with AI these days is that it’s impacting the workforce too much and causing undo stress. One survey found that 71% of Americans feel AI is going to take real jobs away from humans. A Pew Research report from last year found that over half of those surveyed feel there will be fewer jobs available as AI starts to dominate more and more.
