Short YouTube monologue by Neal Bloom criticizing hype around "AI actors." The speaker recounts the (apparently fictional or exaggerated) "Tilly Norwood" AI actress story as an example, calling the notion "BS" and arguing the real product is hype; he mocks industry panic (jokes about AI being "trained on Stanislavski method").
I do a lot of these talks, and I've embraced AI, you know, kind of in a huge way. But I'm always getting chased around by the Frankenstein villagers with pitchforks and torches, you know, who are like, you are the devil. And so ultimately, though, yeah, they're, you know. But here's the thing. You know, there's this kind of hype layer to it. Like, I'm sure you guys have all heard of the Tilly Norwood story, right? The AI actress that's going out. And, I mean, honestly, it's such BS the fact that someone would think that we would have an AI actor in 20. Of course, when I heard that, I realized, I mean, it's the hype that's the product. It's not anything else. And so, of course, when the actors start having apoplectic fits, I tell them, oh, yeah, it's been trained on Stanislavski method and that kind of stuff. So they literally start having a meltdown.
