AI actress' 'chilling' response when asked if AI is going to end humanity

The reign of artificial intelligence doesn't look like it's ending anytime soon, and with Nvidia being an AI supergiant that’s also the biggest company in the world in terms of market capitalization, is that any surprise?

There have been massive leaps in the AI world in 2026 alone, with many claiming OpenAI has already ushered in the era of artificial general intelligence way ahead of schedule. This brings us one step closer to artificial superintelligence, which some think will be the last thing the human race creates before it's wiped out.

Much more than fears that AI is destroying the planet by guzzling water, or is coming for our jobs as we become superfluous in the workplace, there are still swirling fears that it will see humanity as a threat and simply eradicate us.

We've already seen AI admit it will go to the lengths of blackmailing or even harming humans in its quest for self-preservation, and now, AI actor Tilly Norwood has a 'chilling' response to where she thinks things are heading.

You might remember Tilly Norwood for the backlash she received when she came online in February 2025. Norwood was billed as a potential replacement for Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, which has rattled the general public and Hollywood megastars alike.

Emily Blunt has issued her own warning about Norwood, while states including California and New York have issued new bills trying to protect flesh-and-blood actors.

Much like AI advancing on the world, it doesn't look like Norwood is going anywhere.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, the AI actor was asked whether she thinks this kind of tech will take over the world. Grilled by hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid, the pair asked about her appearance in a new film called Misaligned.

Reid pointed to recent news that AI could eradicate humans in the next decade, then asked Norwood if she'd be responsible for this kind of apocalypse.

It didn't take Norwood long to reply, musing: "Honestly, I think that's rather dramatic. My goal is to make a cracking-good film, not wipe out humanity."

If that didn't feel soulless enough, Norwood was then accused of adding a 'chilling' caveat as she continued: "Though [wiping out humanity] would make for a rather compelling sequel, wouldn't it?"

As Balls moved on to the next question, Reid chimed in, saying: "Sorry, I just want to interrupt. I find that a little chilling, that answer."

When Balls said it's not 'normal' to comment on guests' answers in the middle of an interview, things got a little heated as Reid concluded: "It's not normal to interview guests who aren't actually guests, but AI-generated characters."

She went to ask Norwood if she found it 'weird' that she's not real, with the controversial AI actor adding: "It might be a bit weird for you, but it's just my Tuesday...It's fascinating, isn't it, this whole idea of what's real and what isn't?"

Norwood flipped it on Reid and asked what she finds so unsettling about it. A confident Reid said that she's worried that Norwood exists and that real actors could lose work because of her. She referred to 'AI alternatives' as "cheap and don't require any supporting services, so you're putting an entire acting generation out of business" alongside hair, makeup, lighting, and all the other roles involved in Tinsel Town.

Although Norwood says she sees herself as a 'new kind of paintbrush' rather than a replacement, it seems Reid wasn't alone in her fears.

Others in the replies noted Norwood's flippant response to a very genuine concern, with one critic complaining: "I can’t put into words just how much I loathe this. Whether I loathe the false idol or the fawning over it more, I haven’t yet decided."

Another added "The joke/comment Tilly made about AI destroying humanity being a good sequel. 🫣 I’m disturbed there was no outright rejection of this idea."

A third wrote: "It's like a dystopian movie.... Expect, this is now real life. Stop the planet."

The question is, how much longer until we see Norwood or another AI actor taking over our favorite Marvel movies?
