You're baking a lot of philosophy into "creativity requires intent." We can't even prove qualia are universal, which is a prerequisite for "intent" beyond "neurons firing" (what about hypothetical aliens without neurons, could they have "intent"?) and if you skip that, humans don't even understand themselves, this has been well studied, so any "intent" is a post hoc justification in more cases than not.

The nature of creativity is an implicitly philosophical matter, and you can't criticize me for that when you're putting qualia on the table.

Semantic arguments aren't interesting. Do you believe that creativity doesn't require intent, that intent doesn't exist in any meaningful sense, or that intent is only relevant if LLMs possess it? It's difficult for me to parse an actual rebuttal from your comment.
