A major Hollywood actors' union condemned reports that talent agents looking to sign AI "actor" Tilly Norwood for representation. The union blasted the the AI creation for "using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry." Actors, including Emily Blunt, Lukas Gage, Melissa Barrera and Kiersey Clemons, have slammed the AI creation. "AI characters should be judged as part of their own genre, on their own merits, rather than compared directly with human actors," she wrote. Van der Velden's company, Particle6, did not immediately return a request for comment on the union's statement.
