AI actress Tilly Norwood bugs out, speaks Cantonese in Piers Morgan interview
A fake actress created by the computer decided to get a little bilingual with it during a Piers Morgan interview.
Cantonese, a language with over 80 million speakers worldwide, unexpectedly emerged during an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored. British TV host Piers Morgan sat down with Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress who has gained prominence in recent years. After being questioned by real actor Tom Conti, Norwood momentarily veered off course, switching from English to Cantonese mid-sentence.
Morgan inquired about the glitch, and the AI provided an explanation in the correct language. "I had a little hiccup there," the AI admitted. "Sometimes my wires get a bit crossed, that was a bit of a curveball even for me. It’s usually a pretty smooth ride, but sometimes these things happen."
The AI was developed by Particle6, a production group led by co-founder Eline van der Velden. Van der Velden shared her thoughts with Deadline, suggesting that Norwood's display of language skills might have been an attempt to show off, given her previous interviews were conducted in English. Van der Velden added that Tilly is autonomous, and perhaps the developers should reconsider this aspect.
