9 h. ago The Guardian view on Tilly Norwood: she’s not art, she’s data | Editorial

The first 100% AI actor is a cause for alarm. But the human connection of great acting can never be replacedThe threat to human creativity from technology took another step closer this week with the appearance of Tilly Norwood, the first 100% AI-generated actor. Unsurprisingly, her unveiling at the Zurich film festival in a comic sketch called AI Commissioner caused an outcry. Emily Blunt described the film as “terrifying” and the actors’ union Sag-Aftra condemned it as “jeopardising performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry”.There is much that is problematic about Norwood, not least the message her “girl-next-door vibe” sends to young women.

It turns out we didn’t scale them down enough.I was in synagogue when word spread of the murderous attack at Heaton Park in north Manchester that left two people dead, along with the killer. Yom Kippur is rightly described as the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, but it is also a moment of vulnerability. Those who follow tradition, and that includes plenty who wouldn’t describe themselves as believers in God, do not eat or drink for 25 hours; many switch off their phones, and don’t watch TV or listen to the radio; they engag...
