Emily Blunt among Hollywood stars outraged over 'AI actor' Tilly Norwood

From: BBC

An "AI actor" named Tilly Norwood has been causing a stir after its Dutch creators said the synthetic performer is in talks with talent agencies.

Norwood could be mistaken for a young, aspiring actress when one glances at its social media. The brunette poses for photos and showcases a fully AI-generated comedy sketch, where it is described as having "girl next door vibes."

"I may be AI, but I'm feeling very real emotions right now," Tilly's creators wrote on her page. "I am so excited for what's coming next!"

Hollywood is not rolling out the red carpet. Its powerful actors union has condemned the creation, along with A-list stars like Emily Blunt, Natasha Lyonne and Whoopi Goldberg.

Norwood "is not an actor, it's a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers," the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA, 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," the union said.

The AI actor was created by Dutch actor and comedian Eline Van der Velden who reportedly said she wanted Norwood to become the "next Scarlett Johansson". The BBC has reached out to Van der Velden and her company, Particle6.

Norwood's Instagram page includes headshots from faux filming tests and an advertisement spoofing programs on the BBC, including being superimposed on the often-star-studded couch on BBC's The Graham Norton Show.

Amid the anger and backlash in Hollywood, the Dutch creator posted on Tilly's Instagram page to say that the creation is "not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work – a piece of art".

"Creating Tilly has been, for me, an act of imagination and craftsmanship, not unlike drawing a character, writing a role or shaping a performance," Van der Velden wrote, adding such creations should be judged "as part of their own genre" rather than compared to human actors.

AI has been a hotly contested technology in Hollywood and was a key sticking point during labour strikes that shut down the industry two years ago as writers and actors demanded protections from the technology.

In its statement on Norwood, SAG-AFTRA reminded agencies and studios that using Norwood in projects could pose issues for contractual protections they secured after the 2023 strike. "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," the union said.

Emily Blunt among Hollywood stars outraged over 'AI actor' Tilly Norwood

From: BBC

An "AI actor" named Tilly Norwood has been causing a stir after its Dutch creators said the synthetic performer is in talks with talent agencies.

一位名为“蒂莉·诺伍德”（Tilly Norwood）的“AI 演员”，近日引发影坛热议，其荷兰创作者宣称，这位合成表演者已与多家人才经纪公司谈合作。

stir /stɜːr/ 作动词，表示“激发，激起（强烈的感情）；引起（强烈的反应）”，英文解释为“to make someone have a strong feeling or reaction”举个🌰：The poem succeeds in stirring the imagination. 这首诗能够激发起想象力。

作名词表示“极大的兴趣；兴奋；骚动”，英文解释为“a lot of interest or excitement”举个🌰：The scandal caused/created quite a stir at the time. 那场丑闻在当时引起了极大的轰动。

stir sth up 表示“激起（不快的情感）；挑起，煽动（事端）”，英文解释为“to cause an unpleasant emotion or problem to begin or grow”举个🌰：The teacher told him to stop stirring up trouble. 老师让他不要再生事。

synthetic /sɪnˈθetɪk/ 表示“合成的，人造的”，英文解释为“Synthetic products are made from artificial substances, often copying a natural product.”如：synthetic fibres 人造纤维。

Norwood could be mistaken for a young, aspiring actress when one glances at its social media. The brunette poses for photos and showcases a fully AI-generated comedy sketch, where it is described as having "girl next door vibes."

事实上，乍看蒂莉的社群媒体，宛如一位年轻有为、满怀梦想的准女星。棕发少女摆出各种姿态，分享全由 AI 生成的喜剧短剧，她被形容拥有“邻家女孩的魅力”。

glance /ɡlɑːns/ 可以作名词，也可以作动词，表示“一瞥，看一眼；扫视”，英文解释为“to quickly look at someone or something”举个🌰：She took/cast a glance at her watch. 她看了一下手表。The man glanced nervously at his watch. 那人紧张地看了一眼手表。

📍Vibe Coding（氛围编程）是今年很火的一个概念，指的就是编程纯通过AI来完成，开发者通过描述需求（而非手动编写代码）下达指令让AI工具（大语言模型）自动生成、调试或优化代码。其核心理念是“通过感觉（vibes）编程”，即开发者专注于创意和逻辑设计，而将技术细节交给AI处理。

"I may be AI, but I'm feeling very real emotions right now," Tilly's creators wrote on her page. "I am so excited for what's coming next!"

“我或许是 AI，但此刻我感受到的，是真实无比的情感，”蒂莉的创作者在她的页面上写道。“我对未来充满期待！”

Hollywood is not rolling out the red carpet. Its powerful actors union has condemned the creation, along with A-list stars like Emily Blunt, Natasha Lyonne and Whoopi Goldberg.

不过，好莱坞并未铺上红毯欢迎。该产业强大的演员工会强烈谴责此创作，奥斯卡影后提名人如艾米莉·布朗（Emily Blunt）、娜塔莎·莱昂（Natasha Lyonne）与琥碧·戈柏（Whoopi Goldberg）也纷纷表态反对。

rollout作名词时，表示“首次提供（产品或服务）”，英文解释为“the act of making something, especially a product or service, available for the first time”举个🌰：Since its rollout in 2011, Wechat has gained billions of members. 自从2011年首次提供使用以来，微信已经吸引了数以亿计的用户。

📍此外，roll out还有另一个含义，表示“将…轧平”，英文解释为“to make sth flat by pushing sth over it”举个🌰：Roll out the pastry. 将油酥面团擀平。

🎬电影《老爸上战场》（Dad's Army）中刚好有这个例句：Shall I roll out the pastry?  我要把面团轧平吗？

condemn /kənˈdem/ 表示“（通常指出于道义而）谴责，指责”，英文解释为“to criticize something or someone strongly, usually for moral reasons”举个🌰：The terrorist action has been condemned as an act of barbarism and cowardice. 人们谴责这一恐怖行径是野蛮和懦弱的行为。

Norwood "is not an actor, it's a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers," the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA, said in a statement.

美国演员工会——电视广播艺术家联盟（SAG-AFTRA）发表声明指出，诺伍德“并非演员，而是一尊由电脑程序生成的人物，这程序是透过无数专业表演者的作品训练而成”。

"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," the union said.

“它无从汲取人生经历，无真实情感可言；从我们所见，观众亦无意观赏脱离人类体验的电脑生成内容，”工会补充道。

untethered /ʌnˈteð.əd/ 1）表示“并非连接于…之上的”，英文解释为“not physically connected or fastened to something”举个🌰：Helium is a colourless, odourless inert gas we associate most often with balloons that float skyward if left untethered. 氦气是一种无色无味的惰性气体，我们最常联想到的是气球，如果不拴住，气球就会飘向天空。

Norwood's Instagram page includes headshots from faux filming tests and an advertisement spoofing programs on the BBC, including being superimposed on the often-star-studded couch on BBC's The Graham Norton Show.

诺伍德的 Instagram 页面，满载伪造的试镜头像照，以及一则恶搞 BBC 节目的广告——其中她被合成叠加至 BBC 《葛兰·诺顿秀》那张星光熠熠的沙发上。

Amid the anger and backlash in Hollywood, the Dutch creator posted on Tilly's Instagram page to say that the creation is "not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work – a piece of art".

在好莱坞的愤怒与反对声浪中，这位荷兰创作者于诺伍德的 Instagram 页面发文澄清，此创作“并非取代人类，而是创意之作——一件艺术品”。

backlash /ˈbæk.læʃ/ 表示“强烈抵制，集体反对”，英文解释为“a strong negative reaction by a large number of people, for example to sth that has recently changed in society”如：the backlash against xx 对xx的强烈反对。

"Creating Tilly has been, for me, an act of imagination and craftsmanship, not unlike drawing a character, writing a role or shaping a performance," Van der Velden wrote, adding such creations should be judged "as part of their own genre" rather than compared to human actors.

“创造蒂莉，对我而言，是想像力与工艺的展现，犹如绘制角色、编写剧本或塑造表演，”维尔登写道。她强调，此类创作应“视为独立类型”来评判，而非与真人演员相较。

In its statement on Norwood, SAG-AFTRA reminded agencies and studios that using Norwood in projects could pose issues for contractual protections they secured after the 2023 strike. "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," the union said.

美国演员工会——电视广播艺术家联盟（SAG-AFTRA）在其关于诺伍德的声明中，提醒经纪公司与片厂，若将诺伍德纳入专案，可能违背2023年罢工后所争取的合约保障。“这非但未解‘问题’，反倒制造了新祸端——窃取表演成果导致演员失业，威胁艺人生计，并贬低人类艺术之价值，”工会批评说。
