    Tilly Norwood: Artificially Famous

    Tilly Norwood isn’t real but she is raising real eyebrows. Billed as the next Natalie Portman (if Natalie were a laggy IKEA algorithm), this AI “actress” is part influencer, part software stack, and part lawsuit waiting to happen. In this episode, host Emily Laird unpacks the tech behind Tilly’s digital debut, from glitchy expressions to Frankenstack production tools, and why her arrival has unions fuming and producers quietly drooling. Is she a novelty, a threat, or just PR cosplay in uncanny-valley drag? Grab your popcorn and your ethics manual.

    Talk Nerdy to Me: All About Character AI

    Character.AI is where Shakespeare meets Snapchat and your anime boyfriend quotes Nietzsche in real time. In this episode, Emily Laird explores the company turning chatbot conversations into Gen Z’s favorite form of weird therapy and role-play.

But with rising scrutiny, spicy scandals, and a moderation system held together by bubblegum and vibes, can Character.AI survive the AI drama it helped create?
