Joy Taylor is bringing all the opinions this week. She breaks down the NYT’s viral 8,000-word profile on AI actress Tilly Norwood and explains why she’s unbothered. AI doesn’t scare her in the creative space, full stop. 

Then she gets into the essay going around about what actually destroys female friendships (quiet dishonesty, not big betrayals), and why being confrontational is actually a form of respect. 

The marriage chemistry debate hits next. Joy weighs in on whether you can settle down with someone who isn’t the greatest sex of your life. Spoiler: the answer is nuanced but the delivery is not.

Joy wraps with Never Two Personal, answering whether maintaining friendships with exes is mature or a red flag.
