Tilly Norwood already caused quite a stir when her first video was unveiled a few months ago: the woman is not real – she was created using artificial intelligence. Now she has to play the main role in a feature film.
The title of the work is incorrectly aligned. The British artificial intelligence studio Particle 6 is currently working on preparations, reports industry magazine Broadcast International.
The film will be a comedy-drama set in the Tilliverse, a surreal digital world. In it, the main character Tilly tries to develop human qualities in herself, instigated by a bot from the Darknet. According to Particle 6, Uncoordinated will be a hybrid project in which directors, writers and artificial intelligence specialists will work together.
Funny, chaotic and self-reflective
The AI itself will also be covered. “The film will be very funny, chaotic and self-aware – very Tilly,” describes Particle 6 CEO Elin van der Velden. “But there’s something deeper underneath that has to do with identity, performance and our very human fears around AI. And yes, art will definitely imitate life.”
Particle 6 was introduced by Tilly Norwood last year and was heavily criticized for it. Van der Velden counters: “AI can support premium narrative filmmaking, but only with a significant amount of human craftsmanship, skill, judgment and time. This is not a limitation of the technology. That’s the whole point. The filmmakers who succeed in the next decade will be the ones who bring decades of storytelling instinct to these new tools, and Misaligned is where we put that to work at full scale.”
