That feeling has nothing to do with AI. That's how art has always been. Most of these were bad at being art even before AI.
A good reference for exactly what I mean would be the demoscene (both back then and now). You can watch a thousand of those and be totally underwhelmed, but every now and then you get one that totally blows your mind.
There's nothing wrong with seeking novelty, but there is something wrong being jaded about it.

Yeah. Remember when that guy made Doom in TypeScript types? That was incredible. This feels shallow and dull. Interesting idea and cool that ClickHouse -- a primarily human made piece of software -- can even do this but I agree it no longer does it for me.
