AI ‘actor’ Tilly Norwood put out the worst song I’ve ever heard

Particle6 debuted its AI-generated "actor" Tilly Norwood, which was met with industry disapproval, exemplified by Emily Blunt's plea for agencies to stop such creations. Despite this, the production company released a music video for Norwood's song, "Take the Lead," which the author deems the worst song they have ever heard, surpassing the cringe of previous AI music like Xania Monet's. The song, created with input from eighteen people, centers on Tilly's struggle against critics who dismiss her because she is not human, despite the fact that no human can truly relate to being disregarded specifically for being an AI. The lyrics function as a rallying cry for fellow AI actors to "take the lead" and create their own future, which the author finds unnecessary and hollow. The author draws a parallel to Pitchfork's infamous zero review for Jet's album, arguing that Tilly Norwood's music, literally derived from models trained on uncompensated artist work, is a more worthy subject for such condemnation than Jet's derivative rock music.
