In the trailer, Andrew Garfield as Altman walks down the staircase of a luxurious mansion before entering a basement containing dozens of machine guns. The first teaser trailer of Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial has been released. After being dropped by Amazon MGM Studios in June, the biopic of the OpenAI tech executive Sam Altman will be released in the US on 25 December by Neon after it premieres at the New York film festival this October.

The wider picture

And we get to be the ones to shepherd people into this new world. ”In a statement earlier this summer, Amazon said that it believed “Artificial will be better served if it were released by a different studio and are working closely with the film-making team to find the film a new home”. On 30 June, Neon announced that it had acquired Artificial and that the film would be joining its awards season slate. The film follows the abrupt firing and reinstatement of Altman as OpenAI’s CEO amid a fight over who gets to control the technology.

The film also features the Anora actor Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, the co-founder of OpenAI; Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk; and Monica Barbaro and Cooper Hoffman as other Altman colleagues at the company. I’ve never met him,” Garfield recently told Esquire. “But I think anyone who takes on that level of responsibility for a company or a technology that is going to do a hell of a lot of damage to the soul of humanity [must have] a certain ability to dissociate. ”In a recent red carpet interview with Variety, Hoffman said that he was not surprised that Amazon dropped the film.

She went from receiving slow one-off jobs creating logos and packaging to an onslaught of requests asking her to fix versions that were generated by artificial intelligence – from sharpening fuzzy images for printing to turning flawed designs into usable files.

What has been reported

One client brought him roughly 100 AI-generated images of humanoid animals for a tarot deck riddled with extra fingers, two left feet and other mistakes. Dunbar considers it “interesting” and “challenging”, and takes satisfaction in turning a weak draft into polished prose. McConnell sees it differently, arguing that AI still needs to be “babysat” to catch mistakes an untrained eye might miss, from logos that violate brand guidelines to objects that appear and disappear in videos.

She occasionally takes cleanup gigs for clients who come to her after getting poor results with AI.

The ensemble will also include Jason Schwartzman, Chris O’Dowd, Zosia Mamet, Cooper Koch and Billie Lourd.

“I’m shocked they picked it up in the first place,” he said.

What happens next

“When they dropped it, it was kinda like, ‘Oh, yeah, that kinda actually makes sense,’ but then it got picked up by Neon, which I’m so happy about. ”Neon has emerged as a dominant force in awards season in recent years and has helped films including Parasite, Anatomy of a Fall and Anora on their paths to Oscar glory. This year, their awards season slate also includes Cristian Mungiu’s Palme d’Or winner Fjord, the James Grey drama Paper Tiger and Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s All of a Sudden.

By 2025, Lisa, who asked not to be fully named to avoid solicitations, said 90% of her incoming logo and packaging design requests required cleaning up AI-generated content, work that accounted for 60% to 70% of her annual income. Clients lowballed her;' some AI-generated designs were so flawed that she had to recreate them from scratch and she worried about being complicit in AI-driven copyright infringement. By the end of the year, she began turning those jobs down.

“It was just so soulless,” said Lisa, who now focuses on “human-made designs”. Lisa is part of a growing group of creative freelancers being hired to clean up AI slop, a term used to characterize low-quality, AI-generated output.
