What if I used no AI in writing it i.e. it was all heartfelt but used AI to literally edit a video together? The author says

"Two videos, with different stories, shared so many similarities that most people thought they were roughly the same.

Same similar tone of voiceover with cadence. Same cutscenes of flying over empty beaches, and navigating forest trees and stars/universe, and same narrative: after years of evolution scientists have yet to discover the power of such love with a national geographic tone in both (one of the videos even started with that logo)."

Which to me, just means the manually done cutscenes was a waste of time? In fact in most situations pre-AI you'd foist this task on "that one friend" who's good with Movie Maker or hire a hobby videographer. Now I offload to AI, why is that bad?

I think having Claude wholesale write a wedding speech is obviously silly, but the rest doesn't seem so black and white, just more Ikea-fication of consumer art.

Because there's no value in something that you offload to AI without effort.

If it's something that anyone could do, without skill, why would anyone be impressed by that?

Gifts aren't supposed to be impressive. Nor is their value measured by effort or cost.

Nor does this reply answer their question of "is hiring a professional to to it any better?" It seems you would have to argue no, though.
