Since when can a computer come up with a novel idea?
Do not be fooled by GPT, it's a fancy Markov chain hooked up to training data. It cannot come up with anything that wasn't already in its data set.

It took an AI to do something that everyone thought was a mistake at first.

- zlg_codes 3y agoYes, I think most people can come up with a somewhat novel idea. A lot has been done, so there are fewer novel ideas than there were 10000 years ago, but I see little reason why a human cannot come up with a novel idea. It's not even the ideas that are valuable, it's making them happen. I can think up tons of things, but lack the resources to make any of them happen.
