What was said

"Tilly Norwood, the AI generate performer from the London studio Particle 6, has just been cast as the lead in a feature film called Misaligned."

An entirely AI-generated performer named Tilly will star in a feature film where she plays an AI with no body or lived experience who abandons her guardrails. The Screen Actors Guild condemned the casting, saying Tilly is not an actor but a computer program that devalues human artistry. The production marks the beginning of a decade-long labor battle over consent, credit, and compensation in the creative industry.
