So "intent doesn't exist in any meaningful sense?"

You're requiring me to first solve the hard problem of consciousness before making an argument you consider credible but I have yet to see a counterargument on your part which meets the same criteria, and you would need to do so to prove my statement is a "house of cards" versus simply an opinion with which you disagree.

I think yours is the more difficult argument. I can't really grasp a definition of art that doesn't presuppose intent.
