‘Misaligned’: Controversial AI-generated 'actress' Tilly Norwood to make feature film debut
Summary
The UK-based company Particle 6 is producing 'Misaligned', a feature film starring Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated 'actress' who has faced significant backlash from industry unions like SAG-AFTRA. Critics argue that Norwood represents the devaluation of human artistry, as her likeness is trained on the work of professional performers without consent or compensation.
The film, described as a 'coming-of-age story infused with existential AI chaos', explores themes of identity as Norwood's character develops human ambitions and feelings of shame. Despite the controversy surrounding the AI performer, CEO Eline van der Velden maintains that the project relies heavily on human craftsmanship and serves as a vehicle for exploring modern anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence.
