The AI nightmare continues as Particle 6, the UK-based company which gave the world the controversial AI-generated “actress” Tilly Norwood, is officially developing its first AI feature film – starring, of course, Norwood.
For those of you who haven’t heard of Tilly Norwood, she was created last year and dubbed the first AI “actor” by Particle6 and AI “talent” studio Xicoia CEO Eline van der Velden.
Norwood came under fire from Hollywood, with actors' union SAG-AFTRA issuing the following statement last year: “It’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers - without permission or compensation.”
They added: “It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience. It doesn’t solve any “problem” - it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry.”
In March, Norwood also made her music video debut as part of the Tillyverse, with Euronews Culture describing her song ‘Take The Lead’ as “audio poison”, adding that the track has a lyrical “petulance to it, progressively revealing itself as an insipid but alarming piece of AI propaganda.”
