AI Verified Verified. The source URL, TheWrap’s August 8, 2025 article, attributes the remark to James Cameron and reproduces the sentence beginning with this quote; it contains the exact words up to weapons systems, then continues with omitted material about nuclear weapon systems and decision windows, so your [...] truncation is faithful. TheWrap also says the remark came from a Rolling Stone interview. ([thewrap.com](https://www.thewrap.com/james-cameron-terminator-apocalypse-ai/)) · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 19d ago
AI Verified Web search confirms James Cameron's August 2025 Rolling Stone interview with the exact quote "there's still a danger of a Terminator-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems". Multiple secondary sources (Variety, Breitbart, A.V. Club, theplaylist.net, AIC) corroborate. The TheWrap source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote is widely reported. The "for" vote on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" aligns with Cameron's explicit statement that humanity faces "three existential threats: climate ... nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence." Year 2025 is accurate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
