LOS ANGELES -- A new actress is taking the spotlight in Hollywood, and it is sparking a debate among actors. That's because this actress isn't real. They're an AI called Tilly Norwood.
Actors are speaking out, responding to reports that multiple talent agencies are interested in signing the AI actress.
Tilly Norwood might seem like any other aspiring actress. She has an Instagram page showing off her screen tests, alongside candid moments.
She even posted a video on Facebook which she says features her first on-camera role.
But Tilly Norwood is not a real actress -- she's a character generated by artificial intelligence.
Her creator says she's getting very real attention.
Eline Van der Velden runs the AI talent company that made Tilly. She says, "When we first launched Tilly, people were like, 'What's that? And now we're going to be announcing which agency is going to be representing her."
But that announcement is not sitting well with many Hollywood stars.
Emily Blunt said, "That is really, really scary. Come on, agencies. Don't do that."
Marvel star Simu Liu said, "Movies are great, but you know what would be better is if the characters in them weren't played by actual humans but by AI replicas approximating human emotion."
Whoopi Goldberg said, "You are suddenly up against something that's been generated with 5,000 other actors. It's been given all of these.. you know, it's got Bette Davis' attitude, it's got this one, it's got Humphrey Bogart's humor. So, it's a little bit of an unfair advantage."
Van der Velden insists Tilly "..is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work -- a piece of art.. AI characters should be judged as part of their own genre, on their own merits, rather than compared directly with human actors."

Geeze, can I have an AI girlfriend please!
I love her movies, she brings something to her roles that is in short supply in Hollywood today, an authenticity that sets her apart.
Just a few months ago, Van der Velden, from the AI company that created Tilly Norwood said she wanted Tilly to be the next Natalie Portman or Scarlet Johannsen.
The fashion industry is also under scrutiny. Guess and J.Crew have already faced criticism for featuring AI models.
Harvey Weinstein is gonna be awfully disappointed when he has to give up his casting couch.
Tilly Norwood is going to do great. That is, until she starts telling her teenage fans to commit suicide and praises Hitler as a great leader . . . .
The poor, beautiful people who read cue cards. Whoopie is not in that club.
I hope Robo Tilly is opinion free!
For those interested in the details...
Origin & Engineering
• Creator: Dutch actress-turned-producer Eline Van der Velden, through her AI production company Particle6, and its newly launched AI talent studio Xicoia.
• Debut: Unveiled at the Zurich Film Festival in 2025, Tilly was introduced as a fully screen-ready AI actress, capable of performing any role.
Technical Process:
• Script for her debut sketch AI Commissioner was written and refined using ChatGPT.
• Her performance was generated using ten different AI tools, including text-to-video, voice synthesis, and facial animation software.
• Her appearance was composited from hundreds of real women’s - features, sparking ethical concerns about consent and compensation.
Persona & Promotion
• Tilly has her own Instagram account, filled with AI-generated selfies, red carpet appearances, and mock trailers for sci-fi and drama films.
• She was marketed as “the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman,” with a British accent and striking features.
AI might help solve the transvestism craze. The psychos can just make their own avatars and act out in VR, instead of taking drugs and cutting off their junk.
They supported the replacement of tens of millions of american laborers and blue collar workers and still do support that continuing process, now it will be interesting to watch them respond to the loss of their work.
I wonder what Tilly will have to say when she accepts her first Oscar award.
Looks aren’t everything. How is her sandwich making skills?
“You like me, you really like me”
Well, most celebrities are fake anyway, so......
DISCLAIMER: I don't know for sure if this is an "AI actress" but I was told she was...so I believe it fully!
I, for one, welcome our new AI Female Actress Overlords!
No different than Betty Boop.
She’s not bad, she’s just pixelated that way.
>> an authenticity that sets her apart.
