Everything we do at some point did not exist. Language, music, maths, science, philosophy, society, art, technology etc. At some point someone was the first to start down the path.
I get what you are saying, and again I'm inclined to somewhat agree.. how much of it is truly unique and how much of it is just remixing.. and since we live in a physical world we can't help be influenced by the birds and rocks and stars so maybe it is all just remixing?
But General Relativity for example isn't just a remixing of previous theories of gravity, it is a completely different way of understanding reality. Sure it requires knowledge of maths and physics and observable data, but a LLM could never come up with it.
