Tilly Norwood is no longer an actress that Chatgpt is a person, and I am tired that people are mistaken
The conversation in a recent television segment concerned Sora 2, a new remarkable platform for Openai social media, the latest Sora model from Sora in its heart. This gives ordinary people the power to get into AI videos with their friends, often doing fantastic and unimaginable things.
Its existence encouraged me to proclaim, ironic, “nothing is real!” And that’s when the discussion turned to Tilly Norwood, the “Actress Ai” pocket.
The television anchor that I was talking about could be forgiven to refer with casualness to Tilly as an “actress”. After all, this is Tilly’s description on her Instagram page: “Actress (budding).” But I had read the criticisms of real actors – people who fought with their unions to protect against this type of AI incursion – and so I felt the need to intervene: “Tilly Norwood is one thing, IT, not an actress”.
The conversation reminded me of how people anthropomorphize robots, calling them “he” and “her” because they have a little autonomy and react to their world, as if they did not do anyone, at least as a pet could do it. This habit has, in recent years, referred to chatbots, where, depending on the voice, people refer to Gemini or Chatgpt like “Il” or “Elle”.
Even without faces, if something can converse with us, we impregnate it with a little humanity, even if we know that he does not.
The advent of generative images and, in particular, video, coupled with synchronized audio, has aggravated this problem exponentially, and not only because people can confuse the video generated by AI with real thing, but because creators like Tilly Norwood and the CEO of Particle6 Eline Van de Velden tell us that they are equivalent to the real thing.
When Van der Velden’s company unveiled Tilly in September, she said she was creating AI “artists”. Van der Velden enthusiastic Aibusiness“We believe that the next generation of cultural icons will be synthetic: stars that never tire, never age and can interact with their fans.”
It is not surprising that people, especially artists, actors and actresses, panic. Particle6 noted that Tilly received the attention of real talent agents, based in part on the clips generated by AI published on her Instagram, where she has 52,000 subscribers.
Van der Velden somewhat fell back on his excitement, publishing earlier this week on Tilly Instagram that Tilly Norwood “does not replace a human being but a creative work – a work of art”.
What is Tilly?
It looks like revisionist history for me. It was not a thought experience. I think that the companies (and the studios) of the AI are very interested in tailor -made generative characters who look like no one living or dead, whether they can freely control and use in everything, advertisements and work print in the cinema.
It will be, in the end, not different from CGI generating, for example, Woody and Buzz for Toy Story, but perhaps without the benefit of an actor of voice gifted behind them.
In the end, however, even if Tilly Norwood or another AI continues to play in a successful film or a television series, it will only make them popular but still not human.
Tilly Norwood will never be an actress, a person or a human being. It will always be one thing, built from bits, bytes, algorithms and massively intelligent AI. Finally, we may not be able to make the difference between a Julia Roberts and a Tilly Norwood on the screen, but only one of them will know that they are real.
