In the last week Zurich Film FestivalElein van Der Weldon-AI Production House Founder and CEO and its assistant talent studio XICOIA said that many talent agents were interested in working with Tili Norwood, which was the AI-based “actress” created by companies. Van Der Weldon has not gone into detail Who Agencies may consider whether they should bring Norwood (and Extension, Xicoia) as customers. But just saying that the agents were enough to knock on Entertainment industry trades resonate And posting stories about Norwood.
Norwood is the first of many lifestyle digital avatars that are being cooked in Xicoia, and Van der Weldon has said She wants Tili to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman. ” So far, the biggest “role” of the character is parked the TV production process in the “AI Commissioner” video of Particle 6. Like many people General AI Startup FounderVan Der Weldon Tilly speaks with a belief about Norwood’s potential acting career that really when you don’t really warrant See what the avatar is doingMany rollouts of Tilly Norwood feel like a stunt that can be easily ignored. But such buzz-generating stunts can also give rise to fruitless ideas like “AI actor” which become common in people’s minds.
Tilly Norwood is an intellectual dishonesty to call Norwood an actress that when you understand what Xicoia is developing, it becomes clearly clear. Tilly Norwood is not a real woman who can think independently, or decide – it is an animated avatar whose movement and speeches are generated by AI models trained on real people’s footage. deadline The report that Xicoia wants to give people how to interact with Tilly online, where the avatar “can engage in any interaction, can perform monologue, can respond to trends in real time and adapt to tones and refer to suit platform-wisdom audiences.” Some reactions of Tili will be automated, but the avatar also requires “human creative inspection” to function properly.
In short, Tilly Norwood is a digital puppet that can be made to do whatever to do in Xicoia, and it seems that the company wants to stress a marketing point. At one point in “AI Commissioner”, a skiszy male avatar says it is in love with Tili because “she will say anything,” who feels that it seems that Xicoia is trying Appeal to the audience keen on Seeing these characters doing things In addition to “acting”. The complete video is scary, but also suggests that Xicoia thinks Tilly can be used.
Van Der Weldon – a former actor and comedian himself – may know that lines are more to act than to narrate, marks and dress up in costumes. She also understands that, until the project was an in-house Xicoia production, inclusion of Tili in a film or series will face many technical challenges. But regardless of what Van Der Weldon really believes what the General AI works of Xicoia can do, what surviving artists can do, she is sowing the idea that it is possible to get Tili Norwood’s name in people’s mouths and minds.
This type of marketing strategy is similar to Hyperbolic domorism That AI booster has used to promote its products. AI supporters have to hear that AI’s supporters rarely played the alarm and said that the technique they are developing, how disastrous it is, makes it very understandable when you think about those warnings as a kind of advertisement about those warnings. This means that everything about General AI is unavoidable rather than a result People are decidingAnd this inherent imperative is to make you more prepared to accept you Buy in General AI Hype Machine – Even when technology In fact it does not work the way it was promised,
Tilly Norwood can never make it bigger the way Xicoia wants, but Avatar announced a few days after making headlines, Italian manufacturer Andrea Iervolino announced that it had been that it had been Develop an AI director “The poetry and dreaming of great European cinema were designed to celebrate the language.” It all seems ridiculous because it is what it is. But the big goal is to inspire you for the bizarre of all this so that when these products – they come to the market – movies, shows, or tickets – finally, your response is “sure, why not?”
Even if agents are not exploding on Xicoia’s door in the hope of getting into Tili Norwood Business, the company is trying to speak that result in reality. it Recently told Diversity That “everyone wants an interview with Tili.” And If The avatar was meant to secure talent representation, it would send a message to the entertainment industry that some digital constructions only see as being able to do jobs that are traditionally done by living people.
What is funny about Tili Norwood fuss that the avatar is not much of an industry before. Is full of internet AI-Janit Pictures and Footage Brunette women, and it’s difficult to forget Final Fantasy: Within SoulsKi Aki Ross-A “Virtual Actress” (Voice by Ming-Na Wayne) Trying to turn into a real -world celebrityThe big difference here is that Xicoia, basically every general AI, is trying to emphasize itself in relevance, even real people within the entertainment industry have cried dishonestly. Sag-Aphtra hit a nail on the head When it was stated that Tili Norwood “does not solve any problem” – it causes the problem of using the stolen performance to exclude actors, endanger the artist’s livelihood and devaluate human artistry. “
Unlike Tilly Norwood, the concerns of SAG-AFTRA are very, very real, and are very worthy of our attention.
