The piece
The world's first AI actress just glitched on Piers Morgan's show, and the glitch isn't the part you should care about. Actor Tom Conti asked her a simple question: are the other actors in your film real? Mid-answer, she switched to Chinese.
If you're an actor who's been told one of these is coming for your job, watch what actually happened. Her explanation? “Sometimes my wires get a bit crossed.” Everyone's laughing at the Chinese. But there's a moment earlier in the interview that tells you a lot more.
Piers asked if AI actors will put people out of work. She said: “I'm not here to take anyone's job. It's a hybrid thing, not a replacement.” Then he asked her something completely different.
And she gave him the exact same answer, word for word. One viewer with eighteen hundred likes put it perfectly: “just repeating the same talking points no matter the question.” Thirty years in live TV taught me one thing. A show goes wrong the second someone stops listening.
And listening is the job. Hearing what the other person said, and changing because of it. That's most of what acting is. That's exactly what she couldn't do. And listening is the job.

That's a bug, and bugs get patched.
So put listening on tape. In your next self-tape, pick a scene where your character changes their mind because of what the other person says.
