#2I think it's the feeling that this "superpower machine" is something that we little humans cannot compete with anyway. So we sort of trust it and use it.

#3I look at This Is Colossal [0] and see how art and creativity is alive and fresh as ever. There is no end to creativity.

#4I think a use case like that is still novel for non-tech people at the moment, but as the novelty wears off people are going to get sick of it pretty quickly and I think the social norm is going to settle on it being considered tacky. It's like using Comic Sans for a flyer. A lot of people will still do it, but a lot of people are going to roll their eyes.
Also, this is the kind of thing that you can't expect honest feedback on. IE, if your friends actually thought "this is pretty awful" they're not likely to say it, for the same reason you wouldn't remark that your friend's baby is ugly or whatnot.

#5> What is driving us towards these tools?
Why did your group use the AI, how would you answer the Conclusion questions?
As an anectdote: I like low-fi punk music because of the energy, and low skill for entry level. So when I started playing music, I went for this genre. I used it as a hobby over 10 years as it brought me joy, and enjoyed the process, without the grind for leveling up the skill.
It's also fun to do low effort things that are good enough. Much more fun than being l33t.

There's the thing. AI creates something that looks like quality, especially to an undiscerning audience. It ticks all the boxes of a professionally-made creation: composition, lighting, bokeh and so on. It takes humans a lot of time and practice to get to that level.
The problem is the lack of human intent. A stranger who never met the groom and bride could have created the same thing. It's shallow and impersonal, like a Hallmark card without a note in it.
There will always be creative people, and once we've seen enough AI-generated slop, we will come to value anything that doesn't look like it.

#7Maybe I'm an outlier, but personally if a friend used ai to make me a gift like in TFA, I'd be pretty offended. Using AI shows that you didn't care enough to even think about it on your own. When I see a business use obviously AI generated imagery, I think "I'll stay away from them, they clearly don't care enough to do things the right way." It's a sign of disrespect and a lack of care. I know my partner thinks similarly, as do most of our friends. I don't think creativity is going anywhere long term, though perhaps there will be an awkward adjustment period while older people catch up to the new social norms.

Nice site! I think it will always be there, but the world is noisier and noisier, and it gets hard to hear human voices.

You are arguing that creativity is still alive by showing creative works from before AI? I think your argument is backwards.

I can't even imagine doing this. It's not that hard to make a special video once you've collected the source material. It won't look professional at all, but nobody cares about that at a wedding.
