\n\tRyan Reynolds<\/a> is sharing the spotlight with the real Tilly Norwood<\/a> in a new Mint Mobile ad.<\/p>\n

\n\tTilly Norwood caused rumblings around Hollywood when the talent agents were looking for representation for the AI-generated actress.<\/p>\n

\n\tMint Mobile is capitalizing on the controversy to raise awareness about a new service they are offering, featuring a real human being named Natalie \u201cTilly\u201d Norwood in a new spot opposite the Deadpool star.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEverything about Mint Mobile seems unreal,\u201d Reynolds says in the spot meant to promote their 5G Home Internet offering.<\/p>\n

\n\tReynolds introduces a \u201creal Mint Mobile\u201d customer, signaling Norwood to appear on screen, and asks her, \u201cYou are real, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYup,\u201d Norwood replies with Reynolds adding, \u201cNot an AI-generated combination of actors?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNorwood then says, \u201cI\u2019m a combination of my parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe AI-generated actress created shockwaves in the industry with fears of humans being replaced by AI in the future.<\/p>\n

\n\tSAG-AFTRA weighed in on the controversy<\/a>, saying the guild \u201cbelieves creativity is, and should remain, human-centered. The union is opposed to the replacement of human performers by synthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\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,\u201d SAG-AFTRA continued. \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

\n\tActor, comedian, and technologist Eline Van der Velden revealed in a panel at the industry-focused Zurich Summit that she was in talks with several talent agents interested in signing her AI-generated creation, actress Tilly Norwood.<\/p>\n

\n\tBacklash to Tilly Norwood ensued with the likes of Melissa Barrera, Lukas Gage, Kiersey Clemons, and more condemning it.<\/p>\n
