Franklin TV: Synthespians, Part 2 !
You don’t want to become one.
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/23/2025
 |
| Franklin TV: Synthespians, Part 2 ! |
And heard, ‘The Devil is in the details’.
Both can be true.
This tenet is attributed to art historian Aby Warburg, (1866–1929).
Aby spoke to the degree of discipline required to achieve true artistic mastery.
For 6 months Particle 6 studios tweaked details, iterating and refining models to develop Tilly. Yes, God is indeed in the details.
The contentious 2023 Hollywood strike involving actors (SAG/AFTRA), writers (WGA) and directors (DGA) was among other issues, about protecting the voice, image, and likeness of actors in a future AI enabled world. A noble cause. We all deserve to be protected from digital AI cloning that could easily be deployed to cast any of us in any manner of compromising statements and scenarios – ‘deep fakes’. In all of cyberspace, every person should enjoy a wholly protected exclusive right to their own voice, image and likeness.
The ELVIS Act, (Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security), is a Tennessee state law. It protects individuals from the unauthorized commercial use of their identity, particularly with AI-generated content. Governor Bill Lee signed the ELVIS Act into law on March 21, 2024. It updates Tennessee’s 1984 Personal Rights Protection Act, which protected name, photograph, and likeness, but not voice. The ELVIS Act is groundbreaking as the first legislation to specifically address AI’s impact on voice and likeness.
Given the issues around the studio embrace of AI (and future Tillys) there will likely be another contentious Hollywood strike at some point. Given that studio developed AI synthespians and avatars won’t protest, it might well be the last.
The devil is indeed in the details.
And – as always –
Thank you for watching.
