James Cameron on AI: it’s ‘just as creative’ as people, but with no ‘unique lived experience’

SMRTR summary

James Cameron partnered with Meta to bring 3D content to Quest headsets, including Avatar 3 preview footage on the Horizon TV app. He believes VR headsets offer better 3D viewing than failed 3D TVs and sees potential for 3D episodic television. Cameron views generative AI as creative but lacking "unique lived experience," envisioning it enhancing VFX workflows rather than replacing actors, potentially making high-end productions more cost-effective and creating opportunities for aspiring filmmakers.
