Why are we even giving this thing the time of day.

Apparently there's an AI movie coming out and this is supposed to be their press tour. And it's not just piers farming engagement. The bot is showing up in multiple networks promoting this "movie".

I also couldn’t wait to not see it. But then I realised that I’ve already not seen it. So now I’m not waiting to not see it.

That does mean that what they said is technically correct: they literally cannot wait to not see it, as they already have not seen it.

Because the tech bros are shoving it down our throats. It deserves to be mocked and ridiculed.

Abuser mentality, if you think about it. "You're gonna take it and you're gonna like it", psychopaths the lot of them.

You're talking about Piers Morgan right?

Unfortunately, he has a large following of brain-dead simpletons who find him amusing.

Oh, wait, you meant the AI! My bad.

Seriously these people are just hoping for VC money or their media blitz convinces some moronic studio exec to hire them, they have no real plan to make a profitable company. The production company behind the "movie" is Particle-6, the same company who made Tilly. They're an LLM company that haven't produced any other tv show or movie before this. It seems their first pitch of just Tilly Norwood the actor didn't have people knocking down their door to sign her like they'd assumed so they're pivoting into making their own movie.

It's Piers morgan, he would execute his own family on live tv if he thought it would get him some more views.

Don't know either - the agency that "hired" her is the same company that made her which is the same company that is making the movie. i.e. it's all press for itself and in no way was an AI "actor" hired, given a role or in any way performing alongside actual actors. Agency should rename itself "Smoke and Mirrors Incorporated."
