I think every major idea was truly novel at some point. Even an idea like "I will write down the things that happened, so when I am dead, other will know what has happened from my writings" was novel at some point. Which means that an LLM can probably technically come up with novel ideas, since novel ideas aren't some special category of things, it's just that LLMs are not very good at it.
