Hollywood stars are speaking out in protest after an “AI actress” named Tilly Norwood attracted agency interest.

Norwood is an entirely virtual creation owned by Xicoia, a talent studio attached to the AI production company Particle6.

Deadline reported yesterday that several Hollywood talent agents are interested in signing Norwood.

    You people would watch The Matrix and side with the villains, that’s bizarre.

    Who’s “you people”?

    Also, did you watch the Matrix? The villains were not clear cut. There were machines who were sympathetic to humanity and humans who were traitors, and they had complex motivations. The Animatrix made it clear that humans were the villains in the original war between humans and machines, and in the most recent movie of the series we see that at least some factions of human and machine were holding to the peace treaty that Neo negotiated and are living in harmony. The situation in the Matrix is complicated.

    Unless you just watch it for the cool kung-fu and bullet time, and don’t pay attention to the writing. In which case I guess I see why you’d think my criterion of “is the writing good?” Is irrelevant.

      You.

      I was specifically making allusion to Cypher’s steak scene, but I should’ve suspected you wouldn’t understand how that was meant to be interpreted given you agree with the villain. Sorry for not being clear enough.

      Says the guy who just commented how you just consume the content and never makes a hint of effort to understand the purpose behind the writing, whilst defending AI scripts.

        You.

        You don’t know me.

        He’s literally who I was thinking of when I said there were “humans who were traitors.”

        Again, you’ve got a weirdly black and white view about a movie that was written to have a complex moral landscape and ambiguous characters. I think you missed out on a great deal of the movie’s meaning and intent.

        Ah, irony.

          Good thing I’m reflecting on your comments about AI, not your favorite ice cream flavor.

          Good thing I’m not talking about the morality around the movie, just one specific character and their views on the merits of artificially generated experiences.

          Ah, irony.

          Maybe copy and paste the thread on the AI you love so much and it could explain the concept to you.

            Except that’s not what you did. You said I would watch the Matrix and side with the villains.

            Turns out you don’t even understand who the “villains” are in that movie, though, so it’s not a particularly useful reflection.

              I recall reading a news article about AI damaging people’s ability to comprehend a simple conversation… I didn’t think it was true, but I can see now that yes, you people do exist out there huh.
