The leading AI models are now good historians

The real value of almost everything is based on effort I think. The best gifts aren’t the ones that are the most expensive but the ones the giver put the most effort and time into. One of the reasons I like pre-cgi is the amount of skill and the effort put into FX is astonishing. Claymation and stop motion don’t look amazing - it’s the effort.

And to your point, knowing how much effort really goes into something often requires a bit of experience to really appreciate it.

The only claymation that looks good is that of aardman animation. Everything else looks absolute garbage.

Aardman is incredible and their polish is wonderful, but this is not true

fantasic mr fox, coraline, jack stauber's opal, etc. are also very beautiful

The first two are stop motion, but not claymation. The third is claymation, but I'm hard pressed to call it "beautiful". Striking, to be sure, but also conspicuously ugly.

At this point Aardman is also doing a lot of non clay stop motion, but it's still the core of their work.
