Topic: Ai Actors

The introduction of Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress created by Dutch comedian Eline van der Velden, has sparked outrage in Hollywood. Real actors, including Emily Blunt and Whoopi Goldberg, have spoken out against the use of AI performers as talent agencies show interest in signing the digital creation.

A report from a Hollywood producer highlights the tensions between writers and studios during the SAG-AFTRA strike. The discussion focuses on the union's fear that studios will 3D scan background actors for a single day's pay and use their digital likenesses indefinitely without residuals. A proposal is mentioned where studios could turn this into a profit center by charging fans to be scanned and placed in future films.
