Researchers built a tool called ArtSplit to mathematically quantify exactly how much work a human did versus an AI in a creative project. The study found that artists hated it, arguing that creative agency and 'intent' can't be reduced to a percentage or a spreadsheet. This highlights the growing legal and philosophical gap between how we track AI output and how humans value art.
