But many in Hollywood aren\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just the latest movie-industry feud over a technology that many creatives worry has stolen their work and could eventually replace them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTilly Norwood\u201d looks like a young woman with wavy brown hair and clear skin who, since February, has posted on Instagram much like any other Gen Z influencer. She\u2019s pursuing an acting career \u2014 and recently posted about doing \u201cscreen tests\u201d in hopes of landing a gig. But Tilly Norwood isn\u2019t a real person, she\u2019s AI-generated, created by Eline Van Der Velden, founder of AI startup Particle6, which says it creates \u201cdigital content\u201d for film and TV.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent post, AI Tilly bragged that \u201cin 20 seconds I fought monsters, fled explosions, sold you a car, and nearly won an Oscar. All in a day\u2019s work\u2026 literally! Find yourself an actress who can do it all,\u201d along with the hashtag #AIActress.<\/p>\n<p>But the project sparked a flurry of criticism after Hollywood news outlet Deadline reported on Saturday that talent agents were looking to sign Tilly as an actress and that movie studios are quietly embracing AI-generated content. The Tilly Instagram account racked up hundreds of angry comments, including from some of Hollywood\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow \u2026 no thanks,\u201d Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner said in one comment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is incredibly thoughtless and frankly disturbing,\u201d wrote actor Cameron Cowperthwaite, who appeared in \u201cShameless\u201d and \u201cAmerican Horror Story.\u201d \u201cI hope this backfires in every way humanly and well\u2026 Non humanly possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ralph Ineson, who acted in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/articles\/hollywood-fuming-over-ai-actress-203720328.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood is fuming over a new \u2018AI actress\u2019 https:\/\/www.aol.com\/articles\/hollywood-fuming-over-ai-actress-203720328.html Publish Date: 2026-02-23 13:32:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/en\/aol_cnn_business_articles_764\/f238b0c4882c7c2ea1eb53d9a9a4ca9d","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-216995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216995"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216995"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216997,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216995\/revisions\/216997"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
