人工智能正在深刻改变娱乐行业。AI演员Tilly Norwood即将获得经纪公司合约，引发了人类演员的强烈抵制和罢工威胁。此举标志着好莱坞从最初的排斥到积极寻求AI合作的快速转变。同时，苹果公司内部也在开发类ChatGPT的Siri应用，预示着语音助手技术的重大升级。AI“工作低效”问题也日益凸显，耗费企业大量时间和资源。新工具和社区工作流程的涌现，也为AI应用提供了更多可能性，但同时也带来了关于AI伦理和行业未来的深层讨论。
🎬 **AI演员的崛起与行业争议**：AI演员Tilly Norwood正接近与多家好莱坞经纪公司达成协议，这一进展引发了演员行业的强烈反对，部分演员呼吁抵制签署合成表演者的任何机构。这反映了好莱坞在短短数月内从忽视AI到积极寻求AI合作的转变，预示着“合成演员时代”的到来，但也加剧了行业内的紧张关系。
🍎 **苹果Siri的AI升级与挑战**：苹果公司内部正在开发一款名为“Veritas”的类ChatGPT聊天机器人，用于测试Siri的AI升级。尽管面临工程难题和大规模延迟，苹果正努力整合其内部模型和第三方选项，以期在2026年3月推出AI驱动的Siri。此举表明苹果希望将AI功能直接嵌入其生态系统，而非推出独立的聊天应用。
💼 **AI“工作低效”现象及其影响**：一项调查显示，近一半的美国劳动者遭遇过AI生成的“工作低效”（workslop）内容，即经过精心包装但缺乏实质性内容的输出。这种现象迫使接收者花费额外时间进行解码或重做，导致生产力损失，并降低了同事间的信任度和可靠性评估。随着AI采纳率的上升，识别和管理此类低效内容将成为企业面临的重要挑战。
🛠️ **AI工具与社区工作流的创新**：除了行业变革，新闻还介绍了多款新AI工具，如用于处理多步骤任务的Notion Agent、Tencent开源的HunyuanImage 3.0文本到图像模型，以及用于开发语音AI应用的AssemblyAI。此外，通过n8n构建AI日历代理的教程，展示了如何利用自然语言命令自动化日程安排，以及社区成员如何将AI作为“教练”来指导个人目标达成，体现了AI在提高效率和辅助工作方面的实际应用。
Good morning, {{ first_name | AI enthusiasts }}. Hollywood studios have gone from dismissing AI to pursuing deals with AI personas in just months — and Tilly Norwood is about to test just how far they'll go.With a “synthetic actor” nearing agency deals while human talent threatens boycotts, we might be witnessing the entertainment industry's most uncomfortable transformation yet.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AI & HOLLYWOOD🎬 AI actress Tilly Norwood nears agency dealImage source: Particle6 Productions
Norwood debuted in a comedy sketch last month, with Xicoia developing unique backstories, voices, and narrative arcs for the character. Xicoia is a spin-out of production studio Particle6, with founder Eline Van der Velden wanting Tilly to “be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman”. Van der Velden said studios went from dismissing AI to actively pursuing deals in just months, claiming that “the age of synthetic actors isn’t coming, it’s here.”Several actors spoke out against the potential talent deal, calling for other performers to drop the agency that signs Norwood.
Why it matters: Between Norwood and AI musician Xania Monet, things are getting weird fast — and at least some parts of Hollywood appear to be moving past initial AI hesitations. But given the reactions from actors and previous strikes from unions, ‘synthetic actors’ and public personas are going to be a VERY polarizing topic.

Veritas allows Apple’s AI division to experiment with capabilities like searching personal data and editing photos with voice commands.The ChatGPT-like app is testing the “Linwood” system, which utilizes both Apple’s in-house models and third-party options. Engineering problems pushed the original AI-powered Siri launch to March 2026, prompting executive reshuffles and a talent drain to other AI labs. Apple is reportedly not planning to launch Veritas as a standalone app like competitors, instead just embedding the features into Siri directly.
Why it matters: Apple doesn’t appear to want to compete in the chatbot market directly, and given both the insane level of competition and the tech giant’s current AI issues, that feels like the correct move. But March is coming fast — and with Apple bleeding talent and the industry continuing to level up, the situation still feels dire. AI TRAINING📆 Build an AI calendar agent using n8nThe Rundown: In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an AI calendar agent in n8n that schedules events for you directly in your calendar using natural language commands instead of forms and date pickers.Step-by-step:Go to n8n.io, create your account, click "Create workflow," and press Tab to add an AI Agent node to the canvasConfigure the AI Agent by selecting a chat model (GPT-4o mini), adding Google Calendar as a tool, and authenticating with OAuth credentialsSet the tool description to "Create calendar events" and add the current date/time to the system message using "{$now}" for proper contextTest by typing "Schedule dinner for tonight from 7 to 9 p.m." in the chat panel and verify the event appears in your Google Calendar
Pro Tip: Take this workflow further by connecting to WhatsApp or Telegram so you can message your agent instead of opening n8n.PRESENTED BY ASSEMBLY AI🎙️ Calling all Voice AI BuildersThe Rundown: AssemblyAI is the speech-to-text API behind the next generation of Voice AI apps, including companies like Granola, Cluely, and Dovetail.

The research found that workslop forced recipients to spend an average of 116 minutes decoding or redoing each piece.Respondents estimated that 15.4% of content now qualifies as workslop, with BetterUp calculating an invisible tax of $186/mo per worker in lost productivity.Professional services and tech sectors face the highest concentrations, with workslop flowing primarily between colleagues and lesser so to managers.The research also investigated the collaboration impacts, with recipients finding colleagues who sent workslop less trustworthy, reliable, and creative.
Why it matters: AI is ripping through the workplace — but like we’ve seen in the education system, many are choosing to offload cognitive tasks entirely instead of using the tech as a collaborative tool. With adoption rising alongside AI model capabilities, workslop may soon3 become both more prevalent and even harder to spot.QUICK HITS🛠️ Trending AI Tools🤖 Notion Agent- A Notion power user that understands the way you work, handling multi-step tasks and saving hours with one prompt*🎆 HunyuanImage 3.0 - Tencent’s new open-source text-to-image model🗞️ ChatGPT Pulse - Proactive, personalized morning briefings⚙️ Factory - Software development agent with top scores on Terminal-Bench
