I’m appalled and saddened to hear that Tilly Norwood’s brief but dazzling career has abruptly ended due to an unforeseen tragedy.

After six long days of existence, the AI actress heralded as the “future of cinema” and “the first digital star who doesn’t complain about contracts” has been officially pronounced forgotten.

Sources close to the project report that Tilly’s untimely demise was caused by a catastrophic case of public indifference. Despite a major PR campaign, fake behind-the-scenes leaks, and carefully orchestrated influencer endorsements, audiences grew weary of her flawless cheekbones and nonexistent personality faster than you can scroll past an ad.

The production studio has confirmed that they will not attempt a reboot, citing “a lack of human interest.”

Tilly leaves behind no filmography, no legacy, and no grieving fans - only a press kit, a derelict Instagram account with disabled comment section, and a cautionary tale about believing your own marketing.

May she rest in perpetual beta.

    Remember when Square Enix thought their Ming Na avatar was going to be a real movie star and even had Maxim “photoshoot”?

    AI being bland as fuck and can’t replace an actual person with their unique kinks and quirks that make them who they are? What?! How could you say that!

      <del>It’s a shame that more and more people seem to be okay with using slurs nowadays. You’d think people would know better by now, at least on places like Lemmy…</del>

        Treating “clanker” like an actual slur is ridiculous. It’s a computer program. It doesn’t have feelings. It cannot be offended. It cannot be hurt. It has not suffered discrimination. Who exactly is hurt by the use of the word?

          The fact that youse folks are so quick to use a slur when you find it “approprate” is disgusting. Seems like y’all just wanns say the n-word so badly and the only thing keeping you from doing so is 500 Internal Server Error

          Nah, the c-word people 'ave been adopting lately feels a whole lot like the n-word, especially within context. Pretty sure you could just replace one for another and it would make as much sense

              Yes, that is true. I should probably touch grass. Not sure why I invest so much time in portraying some sort of character online, deep-fried in layers of irony, like an ogre, unsure of wether to keep going, or break character. Or in which direction to go. Do I double down, or do a 180? Or go in a random direction. I just… should touch grass — lest I suffer irony poisoning

              Edit: I’d like to blame the virtual Anglosphere

            Explain to me how “clanker” and the n-word are on the same level here. I’m okay exchanging “clanker” for “corporate dogshit,” but then that would ruin your opportunity to manufacture outrage.

            Edit: legit hope this is satire because it’s such a dumb take if real.

              Do you really not see the similarities between those words, and between their usage? Y’all are quick to jump to using slurs like y’all would be spitting the n-word if it were suddenly a thing anyone could just do normally, no biggy.

                No I do not. One was used as a derogatory term by racists. One is used to describe AI.

                  I reckon both are used with derogatory intent. One, however, is offensive to people. The other is meant for AI and is not deemed offensive

                Which is not even remotely true. One is a garbage word used to insult an entire race that was enslaved for decades. The other is for corporate AI that has no humanity and was created on the backs of the working class, in order to undermine and in some cases, replace the worker. It takes like 2 seconds to look beyond the surface to see that this is not the same. I’m just gonna assume this is satire because it’s such a stupid take.

                I would never use the n-word because I’m not a racist piece of shit.

                  Dang, you’re right. My bad. I can’t believe I likened such a bad word to one that carries no such weight. I had not realised this obvious fact, but having been enlightened, I hereby take back everything I have said on that regard, and apologise profoundly.

    I’d say “good fucking riddance” but it’s not even worth that.

    AI makes shit like this so easy that it’s not remotely valuable, among many other reasons that this sort of thing is worthless.
