Since the 1980s, director James Cameron has pushed the limits of visual effects in his blockbusters, from the Terminator and Avatar franchises to The Abyss and Titanic . The innovations that made these movies possible have also made him a beloved, acclaimed, and very wealthy artist. But his latest technological jump has rubbed many fans the wrong way: Cameron this week officially joined the board of the artificial intelligence company Stability AI, which created and operates the generative text-to-image model Stable Diffusion.

Now, the intersection of generative AI and CGI image creation is the next wave. The convergence of these two totally different engines of creation will unlock new ways for artists to tell stories in ways we could have never imagined. Stability AI is poised to lead this transformation.
” Cinephiles were quick to register their disappointment at the legenda.
