This article, written by NYT journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner is incisive, often funny, disturbing, and lyrical in its examination of a development that has much of the creative/entertainment community on edge: the first A.I. actor, Tilly Norwood. The piece introduces the reader to Tilly's creators, Eline van Der Velden and her company, Particle 6; it discusses the ethical implications involved; the economic and occupational anxieties felt by industry workers; the essence of what it is to be an actor; the seeming absurdity of the process involved to create Tilly; and the existential weight of the entire enterprise.
