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.

I would agree... in their current state, an LLM could not come up with Relativity, which is basically the gold standard of human ingenuity and scientific creativity. I suppose my question would be: what is an LLM in 5 years?
The jump from GPT3 to what we'll have shortly where it can chat, "see," and "hear" all at the same time practically renders it a whole new thing. If GPT5 is the jump many feel it could be, it will open the floodgates further. I feel like it's hard to say what an LLM can and can't do because we don't know what an LLM in 5 years even is.
