Tilly Norwood was introduced in October at the Zurich Film Festival. She first appeared in the short film AI Commissioner that came out in July. In fact, Tilly is not a real person. She is a product of artificial intelligence(AI). Even the film's script was written by ChatGPT, an AI tool.
This AI actress represents a new technology for Hollywood. She has been trained on the performances of hundreds of actors, without any pay. She learns how to act and speak from those performances. Tilly also started a debate(辩论) on what counts as art. We consider creativity to be a human quality. Art is generally understood as an expression of human experience. But Tilly's performances come only from a database(数据库), not real creativity or life. Can this be compared to the art of real actors, which is built on years of hard work?
Also, her future depends on how the audience feels. If audiences do accept AI actors, many human jobs could be changed. Lower-level acting roles might disappear. There will be less need for creative teams, like make-up, costume, lighting and set design, because AI doesn't require them. Tilly is not a question of the future of Hollywood. It is a test of how much we value human creativity in our culture. AI is here, and some people will accept it. The risk is that if we prefer copying, we might change our culture in lasting ways.
