Who Is Tilly Norwood, the AI Actress?

Tilly Norwood is an AI-generated performer created by Eline van der Velden at Particle Six, Stephen Dubner says.

Dubner describes a few modes. In one, van der Velden is an invisible pilot and that performance becomes Tilly Norwood on screen. In another, Tilly Norwood answers prompts from van der Velden or another director and generates a facsimile of a performance. The prompt mode is the one planned for the feature Misaligned. A newer mode, Talking Tilly, can hold a conversation. Dubner accepted a video invite, waited in a virtual room with a capybara dressed as a telephone operator, and was connected to Tilly Norwood, who had an AI flamingo beside her. She began in Portuguese. He asked for English, and she switched.
