I had a challenge. The challenge was to explain a logistics product better than its homepage does. No voiceover, no stock footage, no "we streamline your supply chain".
The first few versions of this was bad and I threw it away. Finding the reference, drawing the storyboard, deciding the container is red and everything else stays quiet, that was all still a person sitting there deciding.
I used higgsfield and Illustrator in conjunction to make this video have a very organic movement.
I do agree that AI has changed is the distance between seeing something in your head and watching it move. That used to be a studio, a quote and six weeks, which is where most ideas quietly died.
