This claim is unfalsifiable given common definitions of "thinking" and "coming up with novel ideas".
- jonathaneunice 2y agoBut it is verifiable. We could quibble over "who judges novelty," but I bet if there were regular examples of it doing so, and there were some community agreement the ideas were indeed suitably novel, we'd pretty quickly shout "existence proof!" and be done.
- lostmsu 2y agoNo, it is very much demonstrably false. Here's a simple program that does not even do LLMs that will trivially enumerate all ideas (broken UTF8 handling omitted for brevity): for (var numeral = new BigInteger(0); ; numeral++) WriteLine(UTF8.GetString(numeral.ToByteArray()); For any given idea in English LLMs will certainly get it faster.
