"I heard this Tilly Norwood thing, I think that's all bulls**t. I've never seen her in a movie," Pratt said.

Pratt further added, "I don't know who this b**ch is. It's all fake until it's something."

He also spoke about the potential of AI in other areas, saying it could be "an amazing tool in the right hands." However, he acknowledged that it will "inevitably disrupt the industry."

Despite these changes, he remains confident that "great filmmakers" will continue to create "great films."

Pratt emphasized that AI can't replicate the "human soul" of a director, writer, actor, or singer. He said these professions require "human yearning and suffering and vision in art."

His comments come amid growing concerns about AI's impact on the entertainment industry.

Norwood is an AI performer created by Dutch comedian Eline Van der Velden.

Norwood was introduced by Van der Velden at the Zurich Film Festival last summer.

The comedian had announced that Norwood would soon be signed for representation, sparking widespread concern in Hollywood.

SAG-AFTRA criticized AI performers like Norwood for potentially replacing human actors and jeopardizing their livelihoods.

In response, Van der Velden defended Norwood as "not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work - a piece of art."
