      “Generative” is a misnomer. It will never generate anything new, it can only regurgitate existing ideas based on patterns that already exist. It’s very good at pattern recognition and summarizing, but lacks the ability to form a distinct new idea.

        Yeah, but it’s got that in common with a frighteningly large number of people…

        See management, marketing, streaming, social media, etc…

        It will never generate something novel. Whether it will generate something “new” depends on your definition of “new,” which is a little more ambiguous than “novel.”

        Sorry if I’m being too pedantic.
