American actor-filmmaker Jodie Foster has taken aim at AI, revealing that it fails to recognize her starring role in the 1976 film Freaky Friday. In a recent interview with Variety, Foster expressed her surprise at discovering that popular AI tools, including ChatGPT, omit her from the list of Freaky Friday movies. Instead, they only mention the 2003 remake, which starred Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Foster quipped, 'AI has no recollection of the '70s.' Foster's comments come as a surprise, given her iconic portrayal of Annabel Andrews in the original Freaky Friday film. The movie, based on Mary Rodgers' 1972 children's book, was remade in 2003 by Mean Girls director Mark Waters. In a recent interview, Freakier Friday director Nisha Ganatra revealed that she had attempted to persuade Foster to make a cameo in the sequel but was unsuccessful. Foster's revelation highlights the limitations of AI, which often struggle to accurately recall historical information, especially from the 1970s. The incident has sparked a debate about the reliability of AI and its potential impact on the entertainment industry.
