AI-generated performer<\/a> who sparked controversy last month after reports that talent agencies were considering signing \u201cher\u201d as a client.<\/p>\n\u201cNobody likes her because she\u2019s not real, and that takes the part of a real person, so it\u2019s not going to work out very well in the movies or in television.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe union\u2019s job is to keep actors acting, so there\u2019s going to be that conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acting union SAG-AFTRA has previously condemned Norwood\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be clear, \u2018Tilly Norwood\u2019 is not an actor; it\u2019s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers \u2013 without permission or compensation,” it said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we\u2019ve seen, audiences aren\u2019t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Freeman admitted he almost didn\u2019t become an actor because he considered a career as a fighter pilot instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never had moments of self-doubt about it but, when I was a teenager, I was fascinated by flying so, when I graduated from high school, I went into the air force with the idea at the time of becoming a fighter pilot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat lasted until I got into the cockpit of a trainer and had that epiphany that \u2018this is not what you want\u2019. It turns out I was just in San Bernardino, at Norton Air Force Base, being discharged and only a 45-minute bus ride from Los Angeles, California.
