Generative AI is becoming an important medium for artistic creation, yet existing interactions often assume that creators can specify intentions in advance and accurately communicate them through text prompts. Artistic intentions, however, may be vague, latent, or recognizable only after seeing concrete visual possibilities. We propose a human-AI co-creation paradigm beyond explicit intent expression. By expanding model exploration, we expose artists to diverse visual possibilities, allowing them to identify previously unarticulated preferences through observation, comparison, and selection. We then integrate artists' curatorial judgments into reinforcement learning, assigning different learning strengths based on preferences over generation trajectories, so recognized directions are more strongly reinforced and the model gradually adapts to individual aesthetics. This creates a continuous "explore-identify-shape-re-explore" loop in which artistic intent is progressively discovered, externalized, and shaped. Through three user studies, we examine latent-preference discovery, personalized preference alignment, and the externalization of vague, difficult-to-express creative intentions.
