The model powering Norwood had noticeable lag time responding to questions, and when it did, the answers were either generic or misguided, and delivered in a flat tone.\n\nThat was the Norwood puppet’s high point. In response to guest and actor Tom Conti, who inquired whether every character in *Misaligned* is AI-generated, the character initially misunderstood and began rambling about “exploring new ways to tell stories.” When Conti pointed out that’s not what he asked, it responded: “Ah right, you’re asking about the other actors in *Misaligned.* They’re all digital twins, just like me. It’s a hybrid production, which means…”\n\nViewers may never know what hybrid productions mean to Norwood, unless of course they speak Cantonese. That’s because after another ill-timed pause, [that’s the language](https://deadline.com/2026/09/tilly-norwood-malfunctions-piers-morgan-interview-cantonese-1237107406/) Norwood began delivering another anodyne monologue in.\n\n EXCLUSIVE: AI actress Tilly Norwood glitches and starts speaking CHINESE during her interview with Piers Morgan and real-life actor Tom Conti…\n\nWatch the full interview at 7pm (BST)👇\n\n📺 [https://t.co/1nTb79BH8D](https://t.co/1nTb79BH8D)[@piersmorgan](https://x.com/piersmorgan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) | [@TillyNorwoodX](https://x.com/TillyNorwoodX?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/DDkveWvVzz](https://t.co/DDkveWvVzz)\n\n— Piers Morgan Uncensored (@PiersUncensored) [September 18, 2026](https://x.com/PiersUncensored/status/2100936178509717591?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)\n\nMorgan asked why the Norwood character had begun talking in another language “completely randomly, for no reason,” to which the AI said “Oh, my apologies. It seems I had a little hiccup there.” It also insisted such mixups happen “not often at all!” and the switch to Cantonese was a “bit of a curveball even for me.”\n\nOut of fairness, we’ll throw Particle6 a bone. They’ve really demonstrated an incredible feat of technology here—waste enough processing power, and it is indeed possible to [out-slop Piers Morgan](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/piers-morgan-denies-he-mocked-chinese-language-air-after-facing-n1120406).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers", "canonical_source": "https://gizmodo.com/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers-morgan-interview-2000814431", "published_at": "2026-09-19 03:34:44+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-19 03:53:35.010890+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Tilly Norwood", "Particle6", "Piers Morgan", "Piers Morgan Uncensored", "Tom Conti", "Misaligned"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ai-generated-actress-tilly-norwood-starts-rambling-in-cantonese-during-piers.jsonld"}}
