During a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the AI-generated “actor” Tilly Norwood experienced a glitch, causing it to switch languages from English to Cantonese unexpectedly. Norwood acknowledged the error and attributed it to occasional technical hiccups, stating that such incidents are uncommon but can happen.
The clip of the glitch was shared on the show’s official Instagram page, where Norwood humorously responded to the situation, showcasing its versatility in speaking multiple languages. Created by Xicoia, the AI talent division of London-based Particle6 Group, Norwood is a virtual character featured in the film Misaligned, a comedy-drama set in the unique digital realm known as the “Tillyverse.”
During the show, renowned actor Tom Conti inquired about the authenticity of Norwood’s co-stars, questioning whether they were real individuals or computer-generated entities. Norwood evaded a direct answer, emphasizing that the production of Misaligned involves a blend of human creativity and AI technology to enhance storytelling without replacing human talent.
Despite some technical difficulties and language switch-ups during the interview, Norwood continues to attract attention as it embarks on a promotional tour, engaging with various media outlets. The AI-generated “actor” has faced criticism from traditional Hollywood circles and industry unions for its unconventional presence and statements on societal issues.
