No need to destroy. They could have definitely merged the items like a rainbow melting all into the iPad. Those visuals are pretty common.

That would have have looked nice, but it wouldn't have touched people.

This is very graphic and elicits a much stronger emotion. I think that's why it was chosen.

The irony is that it know kind of feels like more honest then it's supposed to be, digital tools crushing tradition artistry.

That “unintended” honesty may be too close to home, and been a catalyst to the outrage.

I mentioned in another thread, if they showed AI “crushing” the artist (ie replacing) that would have been the powder keg.
