First-ever hyperrealistic AI actor appears in Chinese TV series

Lili is the first-ever AI actor in China to appear in a TV series "I Am Nobody," alongside human co-stars, according to Cryptopolitan and New Lines Magazine.

She plays the role of Er Zhuang in a series produced by Tencent Animation and Comics and distributed by Youku, a Chinese video streaming platform owned by e-commerce giant Alibaba. Lili even has her own IMDb page.

Lili's striking resemblance to a human performer has earned her a burgeoning fan base on Chinese social media. “I feel like she’s better than a real person. After this, let’s swap all [human actors] with these AI actors,” wrote a user on Douyin, China’s original version of TikTok.

Unlike some previous virtual influencers and AI robots, Lili’s remarkably lifelike movements and appearance left audiences astonished. Made of human stand-ins and meticulous post-production work, Lili is not merely a replication of an existing actor.
