AI Actress Glitches, Speaks Chinese in Live Interview
On September 18, 2026, AI actress Tilly Norwood experienced a technical glitch during a live interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, causing her to switch from English to Chinese mid-sentence. The incident unfolded as host Piers Morgan and actor Tom Conti questioned Norwood about her role in the upcoming film "Misaligned," a hybrid production that blends human and digital performers. Norwood, a generative AI entity created by British company Particle6 in 2025, was responding to Conti's inquiry about whether other actors in the film were real or AI-generated. After stating that they were "digital twins, just like me," Norwood paused briefly before continuing her response in Chinese. Both Morgan and Conti appeared stunned, with Conti remarking, "I didn't quite get that. Did you get that, Piers?" Morgan then asked Norwood why she had suddenly started speaking Chinese, to which she apologized, explaining, "It seems I had a little hiccup there. I certainly didn't mean to start speaking Chinese or impersonate Piers. Sometimes my wires get a bit crossed." She added that such errors were uncommon, saying, "That was a bit of a curveball even for me.
