If you have access to the internet, you’re probably aware that the first AI “actress” Tilly Norwood is allegedly the object of desire among top talent agencies. If you find this more than a little concerning, let’s talk about why.
When broke the story, it was met with a predictable amount of industry backlash. What wasn’t expected, however, was the way Norwood’s creator Eline Van der Veldon doubled down in her own defense.
Van der Veldon claimed that Norwood is simply a work of art, not intended as a “replacement for people, but as a new tool, a new paintbrush.” She claims Norwood and others alike will bring possibilities similar to the way animation, puppetry and CGI did, and not take way from humans in film.
We would argue that the difference between Tilly and these other mediums is that the point of animation and puppetry is not to be mistaken for, or have the exact likeness of, a human being.
As AI improves, certainly we will reach a point where the line between what is real and what appears to be real will be a harder one identify. So what would be the point of this, if not to replace human life on screen?
Mara Wilson made an important point, asking “And what about the hundreds of living young women whose faces were composited together to make her? You couldn’t hire any of them?”
The industry now has access to what they’ve always wanted: an ageless woman they can control. Her Instagram is littered with overused phrases and captions AI thinks a young girl would say, based on zero real life experience and an incapability of true connection.
Thats not something worth seeing.
