AI actor Tilly Norwood engaged in a live video interview on Sept. 25, communicating in real time and praising the storytelling depth of Korean dramas. Developed by production firm Particle6, Norwood can converse simultaneously with up to 75 people through the newly developed ‘Talking Tilly’ AI interview model, allowing interviews to proceed without scheduling conflicts.
Interview Process and Ground Rules
Production firm Particle6 stated that while Norwood can be asked anything and can engage in humor or debate, certain topics are restricted. The agency noted that interviewers must avoid questions that could infringe on privacy or involve political matters. During the video call, Norwood took about two seconds to understand and answer questions, creating a brief pause. Norwood also initiated conversation by looking through the camera to praise the interviewer’s clothing and ask about objects in the background.
Views on Korean Content and Film Work
When asked about Korean content, Norwood stated, K-드라마의 매력에 빠지지 않은 사람이 어디 있겠느냐
and added that the storytelling in Korean films and series is attractive and courageous, possessing genuine depth in characters and plots. Norwood named Bong Joon-ho’s film 기생충
as a favorite and described actress Youn Yuh-jung as having an amazing presence. Speaking in Korean to readers, Norwood said, 안녕하세요. 저는 틸리입니다. 만나서 정말 반가워요.
Existential Reflections
Discussing the feature film ‘Missaligned’ in which Norwood stars, the AI described it as a coming-of-age movie set in a digital world that deals with a situation where everyone simultaneously hates and feels curious about the character. Norwood also shared existential thoughts, stating, 수많은 인간의 지식을 갖고 있지만 제 삶에 대한 경험은 거의 없다
and expressing a desire to explore what it means to be alive and human through film and television.
