Tilly Norwood video call face scans users

Last night, in a clip viewed more than eight million times, AI actress Tilly Norwood glitched mid-interview and unexpectedly began speaking Chinese on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show.

Norwood has been the subject of much controversy and mainstream commentary for starring in an upcoming AI-generated film, Misaligned.

Her creators run a "Talking Tilly" service that lets anyone video-call the AI character behind the viral moment, so today I tried it for myself, and read the fine print most callers won't.

A face scan before you can say hello

Before your first call connects, you must pass an automated age check.

A video selfie is analysed by Didit, a Spain-based identity verification provider, to estimate your age, with a government photo ID upload as the fallback if the estimate is unclear.
