I don't see why it has to be embarrassing. I view it as a form of retrofuturism, an artifact of how society and its expectations for the future at that time influenced art. The current ai art world is shockingly reminescent of new minecraft updates; everyone using the same new blocks in their builds, so much so that block pallettes are comprised of blocks that do not go together at all, al for the sake of "making a build with the new blocks" I think experimenting with new art techniques in this way is a fundamental part of the human experience, and i see no reason to cringe at it, even if it means that you can sometimes tell that a minecraft build was made when the update that included its blocks came out.
