I remember a time when using computer was not well seen when creating art.

Wasn't it even Tron who didn't qualify for the special effects oscar because they "used computers"?

It's interesting that it's no longer "computer bad", now it's "AI bad".

I think people are setting themselves up for failure if they index their happiness or sense of self satisfaction to their ability to discern what AI-generated content is or not.

Soon, we’ll have no idea what’s AI-generated or not. I care about good, tight story telling.

In the case of this ad.. it’s okay?

I can almost see your point, but there are two big problems:

1) To date, there has been no example of AI that is good. It's not even close.

And 2) Why should I be interested in a story nobody was interested in telling? If you don't want to make a video, or tell a story, or write a song, then...just don't. Why even have an AI do it?

"1) To date, there has been no example of AI that is good. It's not even close."

It's because you haven't noticed. It's an observability bias.

It's wild that you would make this claim without taking a few seconds to drop a link. It's such a substantial, controversial claim, it really needs some kind of evidence.
