An AI "actress" named Tilly Norwood just got cast in a movie, and her recent interview with Piers Morgan — complete with mismatched lip-sync and an unexplained switch into Cantonese mid-answer — has Hollywood buzzing. In this episode of Sector M31, I react as a working actor who's spent eight years grinding through auditions, and give my honest, personal take on whether AI belongs in front of the camera.

I talk about where I think AI genuinely earns its place in filmmaking (impossible stunts, fantasy sequences, VFX), and where it crosses a line — replacing the very human connection that makes performance and storytelling work. Then I bring the conversation to Claude to get its take on the bigger picture: the invisible AI already working in Hollywood, why "AI slop" is flooding the industry, and whether audiences will actually boycott synthetic actors or quietly accept them without realizing it.

In this episode:
- My honest reaction to the Tilly Norwood / Piers Morgan interview
- What eight years of real auditions taught me about the acting grind
- Where AI has a legitimate place in film, and where it doesn't
- De-aging, voice cloning, and the "invisible" AI already replacing jobs
- A conversation with Claude on whether AI actors are a stunt or the future
