First lead role for A.I. character Tilly Norwood

A controversial AI-generated character named Tilly Norwood is set to play a leading role in a film called 'Misaligned,' produced by the London-based studio Particle 6. The film is described as a comedy-drama set in a digital world known as the 'Tillyverse,' where Tilly experiences a crisis and develops human-like emotions. The project aims to showcase the capabilities of AI in creative industries. However, the announcement has sparked strong criticism from Hollywood figures and unions, including the Screen Actors' Guild of America (SAG-AFTRA), who argue that Tilly is not a real actor but a computer-generated figure created using the work of countless performers without their permission or compensation. Notable critics include Morgan Freeman and Emily Blunt, who expressed concerns over the implications of such technology.
