The level of anxiety in UDA members, she said during an interview with Newspaper“Huge”.
“We no longer worry, as in 2023, we laugh the word in a panic. People say to themselves: how long has I gone to live in my work? ” – reports Mr.to me Pollution.
The latter reacted to the announcement of the creation of an actress, completely generated by artificial intelligence, called Tilly Norwood, the news that caused shields in the community of Hollywood actors.
“We fly to us”
Tanya Kontovanni says that he was surprised to see “how unhindered these ads.”
“We are told not to panic that this is just an instrument, that this is not to replace us, but we still call this new Scarlett Johansson. It is not true that this is not like to replace yourself, it already replaces us in advertising, in many voice contracts. ”
She recalls that these synthetic artists were created thanks to the usurpation of content, mainly created by influential people, actors and singers who exist on the Internet and with which AI studied.
“We are in the process of theft and replacement of ourselves, in broad daylight, in view of everyone, without any complicated one,” says M.to me Pollution.

Why all this? She is surprised.
“In medicine, you might think about many things that will help the human doctor go further in his research and find other ways to approach the health problem. There will be a benefit for everyone.

Six trade unions representing Quebec artists, nevertheless, published a manifesto in June, in which he claims that it is governments that artificial intelligence is controlled.
Until now, their requests remained a dead letter;
“We feel lonely on the front line. We have been Canaries in the mine for two years, and all that we hear from our Minister of AI is that there will be no beacons and regulation, except for development. ”
