Right --- current_timestamp in a generation expression makes no sense.
(There's also an issue about whether the surrounding calculation
is timezone-dependent, but that could be fixed up.  Depending on
current time cannot be.)

You could create a view in which this value is an extra computed column,
but you can't do it as a stored generated column.
