SAG-AFRTRA bangs the actress to Tilly Norwood: “He has no experience in life from which to draw, no emotion”

The ascent of the AI ​​in Hollywood has just hit an important wall while Sag-Aftra has released a strong statement that condemns Tilly NorwoodThe “actress” generated by the computer who recently aroused controversy after the relationships that talented agents were interested in representing it emerged.

The guild is not holding back, clarifying that it does not see a place for synthetic actors in the sector. Sag-Aftra wrote:

“To be clear,” Tilly Norwood “is not an actor, he is a character generated by a computer program that has been trained on the work of countless professional artists – without authorization or compensation.

“It has no life experience to draw, no emotion and, from what we have seen, the public is not interested in looking at the contents generated by the computer not the unrelated by human experience.

“It does not solve any” problem “: it creates the problem of using stolen shows to put the actors without work, jeopardizing the means of existence of the executors and devaluing human art.”

The guild continued to warn the studies directly:

“The signatory producers should be aware that they may not use synthetic artists without respecting our contractual obligations, which require notice and bargaining every time a synthetic performer will be used.”

Tilly Norwood was developed by Particle6, the production studio for founded by Eline Van der Veldenwho rejected the recourse. Van der Velden insists that his creation is not designed to replace the actors, but should instead be seen as an art form.

“I see not to replace people, but as a new tool, a new brush. Just as animation, puppet or CGI has opened new possibilities without taking off the live acting, Ai offers another way to imagine and build stories. I am an actor myself and nothing – certainly not a character of AI – he can remove the trade or the joy of human performance.”

Many actors are not convinced. Melissa Barrara, Kiersey Clemons, Mara WilsonAnd others quickly expressed their anger online, warning of the dangers of synthetic artists.

ON SightWhoopi Goldberg said: “You can always tell them from us. We move differently, our faces move differently, our bodies move differently.”

The strongest reaction may have come Emily BluntTo which a Tilly Norwood image was shown during a variety of interview with Podcast. His immediate response was both visceral and frank.

“It disappoints me? I don’t know how to answer enough, in addition to saying how terrifying it is. No, you say seriously? It’s an artificial intelligence? Good God, we are screwed. It’s really, really frightening, let’s go, agencies, don’t do it. Please, stop removing our human connection.”

The struggle on Tilly Norwood highlights the greatest conversation on artificial intelligence in entertainment. While some see it as an innovative tool, others fear that the acting nucleus undermines as a human connection, life and emotion experience. For now, Sag-Aftra has made it crystalline its position: acting should remain firmly in the human hands.
