AI actress Tilly Norwood’s press tour turns into a fiasco – perhaps on purpose

When questioned by Piers Morgan, the computer-generated actress began speaking Chinese for more than ten seconds. Out of 75 interviews conducted simultaneously, the glitches kept piling up.

Tilly Norwood, an actress entirely generated by artificial intelligence and produced by the Particle6 Group, opened his first press tour in difficult conditions. The most commented moment occurred in an interview with Piers Morgan and actor Tom Conti: while it was about his film Misaligned, the character suddenly began speaking Chinese for more than ten seconds, without explanation.

Faced with the incident, AI replied: "It seems I had a little trouble. I certainly didn't intend to start speaking Chinese or imitating Piers. The promotion scheme was at least unusual: 75 interviews of journalists conducted simultaneously with the same character.

In its article of 18 September 2026, Amanda Silberling puts forward a hypothesis worth asking: these failures could be perfectly assumed, even organized, by the production company. The failures of a synthetic actress make talk about the film — Misaligned, shot entirely with digital twins of actors — much more surely than a particular performance, even if they begin the credibility of the process.
