""To those who have expressed anger over the creation of my AI character, Tilly Norwood, she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work - a piece of art," Eline Van der Velden, founder of the AI firm Particle 6 Productions, said in a statement posted to Instagram. "Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity.""
""Are moviegoers ever going to accept films created using AI? And just as importantly, will the creatives who work in the industry be cool with letting the tech play a heavy role in the filmmaking process? The bitter response to a new "AI actress" suggests that the answer to both questions, at least for now, is a ringing "no." On Sunday, the creator of the digital acting persona named "Tilly Norwood" defended her brainchild after pretty much everyone said they hated it.""
""Norwood's turn in the crosshairs comes as major film studios have eagerly rushed to sign deals with AI firms. The past year alone has seen generative AI effects used in a number of high profile films, ranging from " Alien: Romulus" to " The Brutalist." The AI character sparked fierce backlash last week when Van Der Velden claimed that her recently formed AI "talent studio" Xicoia was in talks with agents who were interested in signing it.""
An AI-created digital acting persona named Tilly Norwood provoked widespread backlash from actors and audiences. Eline Van der Velden defended the character as a creative work and insisted the persona is not a replacement for human performers. Major film studios have accelerated deals with AI firms, and generative AI effects have appeared in several high-profile films. Van Der Velden said her AI "talent studio" Xicoia was in talks with agents interested in representing Tilly, which intensified concerns. Actors recalled the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike victories that secured AI protections and pushed back against AI being treated as actual talent.
