AI Actor Tilly Norwood Controversy

AI personalities has been a thing lately where companies are creating artificial characters who are fundamentally pretending to be humans where you see them posting on sites like Instagram as everything is essentially fake. From the meals they eat to the places they visit. Despite this, some accounts have millions of followers. So what became controversial recently is how there is this AI model named Tilly Norwood that seems to be portraying a person that wants to be an actress.

With that, apparently there are real talent agencies that were interested in actually signing her. How does that work huh? With this, people became outraged that companies would even fathom this with threats of boycott to any businesses that even ventures into this area. I think it’s only a matter of time until we see these “AI actors” in projects. Heck, you could argue they already exist such as in various Disney computer generated kid movies as an example. But like there, the characters are just basic intellectual property versus treated those creations as like some human.

This example showed the public isn’t keen on AI being implanted in these ways. The account seems to be getting a lot of negative comments now too because of the publicity. Be interesting to see how things change in say five years from writing this and whether or not life went as far as people creating some kind “human rights” type of laws for robots. Imagine that in the workplace where you can only work that talking robot vacuum for eight hours a day legally.
