Article From Variety

quote:

SAG-AFTRA has issued a statement condemning Tilly Norwood, the AI “actress” who has become a contentious subject in Hollywood after her creator, Eline Van der Velden, recently claimed that multiple talent agents were interested in signing the AI creation. The acting guild believes “creativity is, and should remain, human-centered” and “is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.”

“To be clear, ‘Tilly Norwood’ is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation,” SAG-AFTRA wrote in a statement. “It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience. It doesn’t solve any ‘problem’ — it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry.”


While I get actors being concerned I just don't care as long as we get a good story. These people have been trying to tell us how to live our lives for the last 50 years and I don't feel sorry for them.

The elite actors and actresses will be protected to a degree but with AI, studios won't have to put up with the problem children.

It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference from the real thing.

You should, you think this will stop at just movies and TV shows? We already have truckers growing more concerned with automated trucks, why would a company want to employee a trucker when they can just pay for a self driven truck.

Also the amount of actors that "tell people how to live their lives", is extremely small when compared to how many actors there are right now. And even you said the big name actors won't be affected but the smaller ones will. Those are the ones working in big cities like LA, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and with 2 to 3 jobs so they can maintain working for cheap as background actors or small time tv rolls hoping to break through

I get what you're saying but would you rather watch a crap show with a real actor/actress or a great show with AI?...Someone still has to create to AI.

Pretty sure we can make solid shows and movies with humans no need to kick people out of job for AI. Unfortunately I fear we've already opened Pandora's box and it's not closing back. This shite will eventually snowball into other professions, and what will middle America do or your average middle class working mad do when his job is replaced by AI

It's easy now to be like oh well frick them when it's not happening to you, but soon enough it will affect regular every day people

Is it any different from an animated flick? Famous Actors can be "Forever Young" by having their NIL turned in to an AI and be altered for whatever the role demands without plastic surgery, radical weight changes etc. Hell they could do 15+ projects a year. Not all AI's have to be completely made up people

Yes animated movies use voice actors aka real people. It's extremely naive to believe that studios will just stick with using actor's likeness and pay them appropriately. You also run into the eventual problem of AI replacing witters and other parts of the film industry not talked about

It does not.

The creator of Norwood got a bunch of dumb press after she put it out there that the ai actress would have a talent agency contract within a few months.

Hollywood's reaction, including this Variety article, has been, "Nah, that's not going to happen with us." SAG and the big agencies have made it clear they're not interested right now.

I'm guessing those same people in Hollywood who are spun up over this would say learn to code if it happened to any of us.

So mark me down as unsympathetic

I have no way of telling if any of the other actors are real either.

Yes. It takes dozens of animators years to create the animation

Those are already planned as the first to go.

You don't need human voice actors.

To be honest, the days of looking up to and admiring Hollywood are over.

The Emmys got me. They yell free Palestine and pro-Trans (which is fine but would get them stoned in those areas) but don’t even mention the horror of what happened to Charlie Kirk. Shameful.

As for the meat of the issue, you know, when you read a novel, that is a construct by a real person, creating drama and humans feelings (through made-up characters) onto the page.

What’s the difference here? It’s a creation of a real person creating (through made-up characters) drama and human feelings onto the screen.

Basically, I don’t give a shite about Hollywood. Give me a good story. That’s all I care about.

I'm all for it if the AI doesn't lecture us about politics

What’s crazy is that while this has been the concern for a while it really seems the white collar jobs are being the first to be threatened by ai. That’s a twist I didn’t see coming initially.
