The biggest problem with LLMs isn't that it lacks original insight. It's that the insight is so original that we call that insight hallucinations.

We like to think Humans are the most creative things on the face of the earth and we don't like to attribute creativity to LLMs. The sad reality is that LLMs are likely more creative then humans.

I think the distinction is that hallucinations are incorrect. You can be super creative building a new chair, but if you can’t sit in it, it’s not a chair.

Right. So you have a testing framework/agent/other llm. It’s not like our brain is one independent machine. It’s various parts all contributing different aspects of intelligence.

Most humans are also too creative, but we have moderating impulses that tell us so much. Very few humans have the skill of being able to ride the cutting edge without going too far off either side of it, and most can only do that in a very narrow subfield.
