Quote of the day by filmmaker James Cameron on AI: 'All of human art and human experience put into a blender' — dismissing the rise of AI in creative industries

Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Cameron has expressed his horror at the prospect of generative AI being used to replace human actors in film. Speaking to CBS ahead of the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, Cameron dismissed the use of AI as a substitute for human creative input, describing it as "horrifying." The director, who has dedicated recent years to exploring technology in cinema, including the Avatar franchise, praised the motion-capture innovations in his films but expressed disdain for the idea of generating actors and performances using text prompts.

He emphasized that generative AI cannot create something completely original due to its underlying transformer-based architecture.
