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.

And here I was, believing this damn clanker would revolutionize the movie industry!

(just kidding)

Edit: This man is on fire!

First I'm hearing of her and that's two times too many.

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 40 points 4 months ago

Okay, but has “development” really stopped, or is this just one person’s opinion?

[-] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 43 points 4 months ago

Oh they'll be back. Too much potential money in a star that only says what they want, will never age and has no limits on what she will do.

Imagine what Disney could do with this: an infinite series of MCU/Star Wars movies where the actors don't get old.

They can't do shit with it.

I don't know how I could comprehend characters that never age and what Disney could possibly do with them. I am having a hard time imagining because they keep distracting me with their animated films.

They could have at least made up a story about a heroin overdose. Take her out with something memorable.

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.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

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!

Horny is indeed the largest driver of art.

lack of human interest

When has that ever stopped anybody? Just spin up a million or so ai fans programmed to love it

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

She didn't even follow the true Hollywood story of failing to even get an spot in an advertisement then into the softcore porn industry just to pay rent until something else comes through.

Good damn movie.

"SimOne."

Remember when Squaresoft was working on Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and they were trying to hype up Aki Ross as a "digital actress?" Here meaning they were planning on re-using her CGI model in other films?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I think they reused her model in one of the Animatrix shorts.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

They re-used Elastagirl's model in Incredibles 2. I mean, the idea of a "digital actress" has come a ways in 25 years, hasn't it? From dumb to retarded.

I'm so glad I'm not terminally online enough that I even know what the fuck is going on here. My god this timeline is filled with so much noise, not news. . .
