The actress broke down the film\u2019s formulaic structure and AI\u2019s growing role in Hollywood at a recent panel.<\/p>\n<p>Why Jodie Foster initially assumed Brad Pitt\u2019s F1 was written by a computer<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jodie Foster recently suggested that Brad Pitt\u2019s F1 felt like a product of artificial intelligence. The actress made these remarks during a panel at the Aspen Festival of Ideas on Tuesday. She appeared alongside former Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton for a discussion titled Who Owns the Future of Hollywood, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/jodie-foster-brad-pitt-f1-ai-written-by-computer-1236801120\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Variety;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Variety&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Foster pointed to the film\u2019s conventional storytelling as the basis for her observation. \u201cI don\u2019t say this disparagingly \u2014 how could I? This movie went on to make millions of dollars. But I look at a movie like F1 and I\u2019m like, F1 was made by AI,\u201d she remarked while laughing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The actress elaborated that the dialogue and narrative felt algorithmically crafted rather than organically written. \u201cThe actors say the lines exactly the way it would be written if a computer was writing exactly what would be the right thing for that time,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite Foster\u2019s critique, the racing drama has achieved remarkable commercial and critical success globally. F1 has earned $634 million at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/title\/tt16311594\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:worldwide;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;worldwide&quot;}\" class=\"link \">worldwide<\/a> box office to date. The film additionally secured four Academy Award nominations, including best picture, and took home the prize for best sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Foster clarified that she does not oppose AI use in filmmaking across the board, though. She praised tools like previz for aiding directors during pre-production planning stages. She also highlighted a surreal sequence in her latest project My Private Life as an effective application of the technology. \u201cIf we are able to dominate AI consistently over time, we will be able to make things that reflect us, and we can make things better,\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The conversation also turned toward AI\u2019s potential impact on entertainment industry jobs and livelihoods. Foster voiced support for unions negotiating protections when studios digitally replicate performers on screen. \u201cYou can use my actor 20 times, but you\u2019re going to pay him 20 times. And I think that\u2019s fair,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">F1 is currently streaming exclusively on Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/movies\/news\/2157466-jodie-foster-brad-pitt-f1-written-by-a-computer-ai-comments\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:ComingSoon.net;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;ComingSoon.net&quot;}\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1804729-jodie-foster-brad-pitt-f1-written-by-a-computer-ai-comments\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Jodie Foster Criticizes Brad Pitt\u2019s F1 as Formulaic, Says It Felt AI-Made;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Jodie Foster Criticizes Brad Pitt\u2019s F1 as Formulaic, Says It Felt AI-Made&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Jodie Foster Criticizes Brad Pitt\u2019s F1 as Formulaic, Says It Felt AI-Made<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Mandatory;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Mandatory&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jodie Foster claims a computer could have written one of Brad Pitt\u2019s biggest movies.
