Here’s the article. I didn’t bother to get any of the images though, but there’s only that crying one. Nor did I bother to get links that the article referred to

Tilly Norwood exists to probe what audiences will tolerate and to remind Hollywood, already anxious and penny-pinching, that the line between performance and product has never been thinner.

Hollywood lurched into a fresh wave of existential panic this week after Deadline, notating an otherwise dry industry panel on Saturday, September 27, seized on a stray remark. It came from Eline Van der Velden, the founder of a U.K.-based AI studio called Particle6, who participated in a panel about AI in the entertainment industry at the Zurich Summit, a sidebar to the Zurich International Film Festival. She was there in part to promote the face of her new “AI talent studio,” Tilly Norwood, who debuted in a fully AI-generated short released by Particle6 in July. The synthetic performer looks indistinguishable from the endless Instagram influencers flooding feeds: glossy hair, poreless skin, blinding teeth, eyes fixed in coy detachment upon an otherwise generic face. While Tilly can barely hold a scene, Van der Velden, apparently an actor-comedian turned producer, has been pitching her for stardom. “We want Tilly to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman,” she told obscure press in July in an interview to promote the short, a comedy sketch titled “AI Commissioner.”

During the Zurich panel last weekend, Van der Velden took the hype up a notch by claiming that there was industry interest in Tilly and that Particle6 had plans to announce “which agency is going to be representing her in the next few months.”
