Quick, let’s all take a minute and laugh at AI “actress” Tilly Norwood ad-libbing in Cantonese in the middle of an interview.
That was fun! 😂
Tilly also forgot she’d just talked to an interviewer, and claimed “all lives matter.” Her dream co-star is Leonardo DiCaprio, and she prefers him “the way he likes his women, strictly under 25.” Touché.
AI’s threat to human actors is real, especially extras and bit parts.
Replacing movie stars is a long way off. Tilly couldn’t improv a scene about her dog dying without hours of human studio work.
While Tilly’s glitch-filled press tour made headlines, 2026 set the all-time US summer box office record behind Spider-Man, The Odyssey and Toy Story 5.
Congratulations to Hollywood’s humans.
