It was only a matter of time before we had an AI movie star in Hollywood.

The introduction of AI was supposed to herald an age of glory. No longer would we have to do menial jobs. The money saved by mega corporations would trickle down. We would all have universal income, work three-day work weeks, and bask in free time to create and pursue human innovation.
- Instead, we’re poorer than ever before. Corporations are making more money than god. AI is not only stealing menial jobs, but also now encroaching on human creativity. We truly live in a hell of our own making. A tech utopia has been stolen from us by greedy, anti-human billionaires, and there is nothing you can do about it.
AI Hollywood: Tilly Norwood, created by a company known as Xicoia, hopes to appear, virtually, in movies and shows. She is completely computer-generated and is being peddled as the first AI movie star. She is an AI model created by leeching talent from millions of actors. The result is a visually convincing AI actor with a full range of simulated emotions.
Hollywood Backlash
AI has come for many creative professions. Amazon is full of AI-slop books, written by the prompts of a troglodyte without an ounce of their own literary talent. I’ve visited exhibitions in which the art for sale is more computer-generated trash. Even Spotify has been plagued by AI artists, harvesting plays from people who know no better.
- These things are permitted because writers, artists, and musicians aren’t unionized with any real power. However, Hollywood is. As proven by the writers’ strike, when the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has a problem, so does the film industry. They have made a stand.
- Speaking about Tilly Norwood, the proposed AI movie star, they’ve made their thoughts clear: “is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers,” they said 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.”
Boycott AI-produced art or risk losing any human-created beauty.
