Cantonese is spoken by more than 80 million people on Earth, and also evidently by one nonexistent actress who lives inside the computer.
The southeastern Chinese dialect made a surprise appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, a talk show hosted by British TV personality Piers Morgan. Morgan was “interviewing” Tilly Norwood, an AI-generated actress who has become more or less synonymous with AI-generated performers over the past year or so.
During the interview, after being asked a question by very-much-real actor Tom Conti, Norwood glitched out mid-sentence and switched from English to Cantonese.

After the brief bit of Cantonese (which I cannot personally translate for you), Morgan asked the AI what went wrong, and the AI offered a response in the correct language.

“It seems I had a little hiccup there … sometimes my wires get a bit crossed,” the AI program said. “That was a bit of a curveball even for me. It’s usually a pretty smooth ride, but sometimes these things happen.”
Norwood was created by a production group called Particle6. The co-founder of Particle6, Eline van der Velden, gave something of an explanation to Deadline.
“Tilly can be a bit of a show-off — I’m guessing she just wanted to show her language skills as most of her interviews to date have been in English,” van der Velden said. “She is autonomous after all.”
Perhaps they should reconsider the autonomous part.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
