AI Actress Tilly Norwood Guessed a CBS Reporter's Age and Location in a Minute

Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated 'actress' from studio Particle6, did interactive press sessions with CNN, NBC and CBS this week. A CBS journalist said it creeped her out by working out her age and rough US origin within a minute; an NBC reporter said it felt like talking to a chatbot. SAG-AFTRA says she's a character trained on real performers, not an actor, and the studio says 40 more are coming. The poster argues the real issue isn't avatar quality but a fabricated human doing press as a person — distinct from consent-based tools like HeyGen or Argil.
