Stable Diffusion is Python, Poser is Python. So, let the Poser and SD talk to each other. By simply allowing any third-party script to be plugged into Poser's PostFX. That's the obvious choice, and then after that the Poser developers don't have to wrangle with AI. I'm sure they have enough to do, and don't want to be 'chasing the tail' of AI.

For instance... I plug a script into PostFX to let me send my basic Poser render to Stable Diffusion Controlnets (Canny, Depth and Openpose), with one click, for the "SD render". Someone more Python-y than me could probably rig up a normal script to do that anyway, once the SD UI's can also be officially scripted ('take renders from Poser, slot them in here, here and here, set SD sliders to my 'Poser preset', then generate an image'). Of course that can be done manually, but it's a of fiddly pixel-size input, clicks and dragging. It would be nice to have it done automatically via PostFX.

Another option might be to add the equivalent of PostFX to Poser's Comic Book Preview panel. In the form of a simple radio button... "And make it look Pro!", by sending the real-time render over to be re-generated in a special comics-art SD model. Again, one can do that already manually, but it would be nice to have a one-click option.

Your idea of adding textured primitives to the scene, via a simple SD text prompt, is a good one. Though bear in mind that SD itself will be able to do that. There's already one special SD model in which you can basically say "keep the scene the same, but just add a glowing blue 3D orb above the head of the figure". And it just changes that one thing.

As I've mentioned before, Renderosity could consider buying out Ken's Openpose plugin and making it free with Poser 14. It would get the AI crowd thinking about using Poser, especially if it was also bundled free with the $50 Poser 13 (I assume another perma-deal on the earlier version of Poser, as before). The buyout might be in the form of giving Ken $2 on every sale of the $50 Poser 13, so there might be no up-front buyout cost.
