Known for pushing technological boundaries in films like The Terminator, Aliens and Avatar, Cameron now lends his expertise to a company developing AI tools like Stable Diffusion, which has surpassed 150 million downloads.

Stability AI’s open-source models are widely used across creative industries, including VFX and game design. While the company promotes its technology as a way to “empower” artists, AI’s growing influence in these fields raises questions. Artists need to evaluate whether these tools enhance creativity or merely automate it, with the potential for job displacement looming over discussions about AI’s role in the industry. Which as a topic is to big to discuss before the second cup of coffee, so we won’t do it here. Stability AI’s models are available for free, with premium options for enterprise use. Artists should review the documentation before integrating these tools into their projects.

And please excuse the AI-generated featured image. The prompt was “The T1000 from the Movie “The terminator”, the Alien Queen from “Aliens” and a Naavi from “Avatar” walking towards the stability.AI office.” The GenAI model built into our publishing system a) never seen Aliens, and b) wellllll…. we’ll use it just this one time, because the result is simply not that good. But fitting for this news.
