• 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

I predict, eventually, there will be MORE "AI" actors than "REAL" people actors... this FEMALE "AI" is the forerunner of MANY, MANY MORE ( Male & Female ) to come.
Remember 1979.. the Buggles and "Video Killed the Radio Star"... this time around it's "AI" Killed the Movie Star!"
