It’s official, art is dead. If you or someone you know has childhood pipe dreams of becoming an actor or writer or person, you may be entitled to some serious compensation.
Artificial intelligence has already taken everything from artists, now she’s coming for Hollywood. Meet Tilly Norwood, bright striking eyes and cascading chestnut hair, its DNA strands are lines of code, But it has a portfolio, and a desire to be signed by major talent agents for acting.
The fact that she exists means that we as a species are already too late. No matter how many actors disapprove and shake their NDA noggins. The creator, Eline Van Der Velden, referred to her “piece of art” as “a new tool, a new paintbrush. Just like puppetry, animation, or CGI.”
I hate how useless this fight is. I hate the concept that someone decided to create this and still deem themselves an artist. I hate you Tilly. I don’t care who knows it. Sleep with your monitor on tonight, I’m doing everything I can not to pour water on you.
