Let's be real though. 99% of people 99% of the time are also not coming up with novel ideas.

LLMs seem to mostly be limited right now by the fact that they're always losing context on new conversations and their interactions don't rewire their neural nets. Hard to come up with a new idea when your brain gets reset with every conversation.

I agree but I have tried many times to intersect two ideas with a LLM that would be novel and the LLM can not do this at all.

We shouldn't expect the stochastic parrot to be able to do this though and it is unfair to the stochastic parrot.

It is like expecting a real parrot to say words it has never heard before.

No one asks that of a real parrot because we don't anthropomorphize a real parrot like we do the LLM.
