"Good" has two routinely conflated senses: * **Moral good** - that which ought to be done, supported, or brought about. Closely related to [[consciousness]] and [[normative properties]]; arguments about whether something is morally good are usually arguments about whether one ought to care about it. Little consensus exists on what is morally good in detail. -* **Good as a standard of quality** - the property of being well-made, well-reasoned, or fit for purpose. A good [[proof]], a good chair, a good [[Transformer|model architecture]]. This sense is more tractable than the moral one, since it can usually be cashed out as performance against an explicit benchmark. +* **Good as a standard of quality** - the property of being well-made, well-reasoned, or fit for purpose.
