Claire Foy Rejects AI-Made Art, Says an AI Hawk ‘Would Be Shit’ Before H Is for Hawk Opens Jan. 23

Her stance highlights a film-industry split over generative AI’s role in creativity versus technical utility.

Overview

  • In a new Times of London interview, Foy said she has no interest in watching or reading anything created by AI.
  • Asked about an AI-generated bird in her film, she replied that an AI hawk “would be shit,” as reported by Deadline.
  • Foy emphasized that H Is for Hawk was filmed with a live bird of prey rather than relying on AI.
  • She said fears of actors becoming obsolete hinge on audience choices and added she would be disappointed if viewers prefer what she called “glorified animation.”
  • Coverage notes a broader divide in Hollywood, with Guillermo del Toro, Celine Song and Denis Villeneuve criticizing generative AI, while James Cameron points to cheaper VFX and Leonardo DiCaprio frames it as an enhancement tool.
