No one really cares about a tech demo, but if generative tools help you make a cool music video to an awesome song? People will want it.
Well, as long as they aren't put off by a regressive stigma against new tool at least.

One end of art is spending millions of man hours to polish this effect to fool the eye. the other side simplifies the environment and focuses more on making this new environment cohesive, which relaxes our expectations. Take your favorite 90's/early 00's 3d game and compare it to Mass Effect: Andromeda to get a feel of this.
AI is promising to do the former with the costs of the latter. And so far it's maybe halfway to Andromeda in its infancy of videos.
If you dislike it without even seeing it, that would indicate the problem isn't with the video...
The only good AI is AI out of my sight.
TBF - have you looked at a digital photo made in the last decade? Likely had significant 'AI' processing applied to it. That's why I call it a regressive pattern to dislike anything with a new label attached - it minimizes at best and often flat out ignores the very real work very real artists put in to leverage the new tools.
Output of current image generators are trash. It's unsalvageable. That's the problem, not "regressive pattern".
New tools aren't inherently inferior, they open up new opportunities.
creative power without control is like a rocket with no navigation—sure, you'll launch, but who knows where you'll crash!
It is technically interesting, and a lot of what it creates does have its own aesthetic appeal just because of how uncanny it can get, particularly in a photorealistic format. It's like looking at the product of an alien mind, or an alternate reality. But as an expression of actual human creative potential and directed intent I think it will always fall short of the tools we already have. They require skilled human beings who require paychecks and sustenance and sleep and toilets, and sometimes form unions, and unfortunately that's the problem AI is being deployed to solve in the hope that "extruded AI art product" is good enough to make a profit from.
You may feel different if it’s, say, art assets in your new favorite video game, frames of a show, or supplementary art assets in some sort of media.
A lot of people will not notice the missing reflections and because of this our gatekeepers to quality will disappear.
A Bluegrass song about how much fun it is to punch holes in drywall like a karate master.
A post-punk/hardcore song about the taste of the mud and rocks at the bottom of a mountain stream in the newly formed mountains of Oklahoma.
A hair band power ballad about white dad sneakers.
But for "serious" songs, the end result sounds like generic muzak you might hear in the background at Wal-Mart.

It failed my little fire but it spread a dying spark
It's very cool that we have a technology that can generate video, but what's cool is the tech, not the video. It doesn't matter if it's a man eating spaghetti or a woman walking in front of dozens of reflections. The tech is cool, the video is not. It could be ANY video and just the fact AI can generate is cool. But nobody likes a video that is generated by AI.
A very cool technology to produce products that nobody wants.
