Zack Sharf@ZSharfAndrew Garfield was using ChatGPT as a "fancy Google" for "research purposes" as an actor... Then he dumped the AI chatbot after playing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in ARTIFICIAL because “I got a bit scared. I felt a little mistrusting of the technology. It feels like the people who are encouraging us to use the technologies don’t exactly know its capacities themselves. That feels a little irresponsible, to me personally.” https://variety.com/2026/film/news/andrew-garfield-chatgpt-sam-altman-artificial-1236904494/1h
Variety@VarietyAndrew Garfield says he’d feel “vulnerable and probably angry” if he was depicted in a film like Sam Altman is in “Artificial”: “I imagine it must be incredibly strange and surreal to be a young man, as he is, to know that there’s a film where a version of him is being depicted. I feel quite sensitive and compassionate towards that. I’d personally feel really vulnerable and probably angry. That’s just me. He seems very chill about it. It’s a curious thing what we do, but as Luca has said, the people who are in power in our world right now, it’s our duty to interrogate that power.” https://variety.com/2026/film/news/andrew-garfield-chatgpt-sam-altman-artificial-1236904494/39m
