AI, however, has proved transformative — she has even created an AI version of her co-star Andrew Lincoln whom she can rehearse with at home. Sorry, what? “There are apps for it now, it’s so cool! Because it takes me a while to learn lines, that’s why I normally like the prep time, especially if you don’t have the other actors there. With this app you can choose the character, so you can say British, Aussie, female, middle-aged, whatever, and then they read the lines. I’ve realised that some AI voices are upgraded and actually quite good, while others are more flat and robotic. I’ve told Andrew, my AI Andrew is not on your level — but he’s very good too!” She laughs.
