AI-generated 'actress' Tilly Norwood has a new song and music video, titled \
Actress Tilly Norwood continues to turn heads in Hollywood, now as a musician. But she's still not human.
After causing a stir among actors, the fictional character made with artificial intelligence and created by the England-based company Particle6 has ventured into music with a new song and video. Titled "Take The Lead," the track encourages listeners to appreciate the human connection to the technology that led to its existence, with the central lyric "AI’s not the enemy, it’s the key."
"When they talk about me, they don’t see the human spark, the creativity, behind the code, behind the light, I’m just a tool, but I've got life," the opening lyrics read. "I didn’t come from nowhere, no, A story’s always told, you know, It’s not a glitch, it’s taste and time, A human touch, a grand design."
The video features a plethora of AI-generated visuals of the singer at a massive arena show, entering a limousine, and many pink flamingos, Norwood's signature aesthetic. There are also various playful nods to its lack of humanity, from failing a CAPTCHA test to a concertgoer holding a sign reading "Tilly, I'll eat all your cookies."
The video opens with a disclaimer that "the following production was made by 18 real humans - from production designers to costume designers to prompters, editors and an actor."
