Andrew Garfield stopped using ChatGPT after playing Sam Altman in ‘Artificial’

Andrew Garfield stopped using ChatGPT after playing Sam Altman in ‘Artificial’the new movie Luca Guadagnino which is about the crisis he experienced OpenAI almost three years ago. The actor explained his decision during his visit to the show ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ on September 9, where he expressed its concern about the consequences of artificial intelligence and the uncertainties recognized by those responsible for it.

The experience reminded him of what he experienced when he participated in ‘The Social Network’the movie David Fincher about the origins of Facebook released in 2010. Garfield then played Eduardo Saverinco-founder of the social network, faced with Mark Zuckerberg for his participation in the company. ‘It’s the same thing that happened to me when I made The Social Network, that I left Facebook immediately. I stopped using ChatGPT immediately’he stated.

The actor linked his decision to what he had learned when approaching this world to prepare for the character. ‘I don’t even really know how to explain why, but the more you know, the more you realize that we are hurtling into very unknown territory.’he pointed to Kimmel.

Garfield also joked about the confidence with which technological leaders present a future whose consequences they admit they do not know. ‘I guess the nice and transparent thing is that they come and say “We don’t know who is going to lose their job or how we are going to create an economy that works for ordinary people, but we will find out and I promise you it will be incredible.”‘, said.

His criticism continued the next day during an interview on ‘The Daily Show’, where questioned the priorities of those who run these companies. Garfield maintained that there would be more possibilities of facing this process if those responsible put human life before economic results and the value of shares.

The film that motivated these reflections Reconstructs Altman’s firing and return to OpenAI in November 2023. Directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Simon Richreunites Garfield with Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk.

Its first screening is scheduled for October 5 at the New York Film Festival. It will arrive in select theaters in the United States on December 25, before a wider release in January 2027.
