this maps to what im seeing in visual AI too. rendering quality is insane now, nobody disputes that. but most AI generated images look generic and flat because theres no direction behind them

same thing with writing imo. the output quality is technically fine but if you didnt wrestle with the ideas yourself the result reads like noone actually thought about it

writing forces you to confront where your thinking is vague. directing a photo shoot does the same thing actualy, the moment you have to commit to a specific angle or framing you discover what you realy want to say. skip that step and you get competent emptiness

If we see intent as a real part of information which influences the output substantially then this is perfectly explainable - the part of intent is not intrinsic to any artificial generation. Intent can only be given by external input and will be therefor always transformed by the statistical operations which happen during the generation of the output. The wrestling with the ideas is to find the sweetspot between intent, anticipated outcome and the anticipated recognition from other of the result. Even if we put in intent into the generation than the assumption of the consequences of the certain output in certain contexts is still missing. And the core of this problem is in my opinion the missing casual chain - without this no causal link between the generation and its consequences can be established and therefore no "deepness" can be found in the generated artifacts.
