I'm not bothered by the destruction. Destruction itself can have artistic value. For example, you can't portray the Nazis on screen without showing how destructive they were.

What bothers me is the arrogance to say that an iPad, a device which will be obsolete in a few short years, can replace all those instruments and tools that last more than a generation.

This is similar to the history channels which use AI colorized historical footage which wildly shifts objects from red to blue in a few frames and have the audacity to claim this is an improvement over the original.




I am. If they had a "No objects were harmed in the making of this ad" notice at the end, I'd feel much, much better about it.

It would still bother a lot of people for other reasons, but it's the wanton destruction that bothers me the most.
