While I've not watched this video I don't think this is an uncommon idea. Or at least many people may see it in practice but never really follow thru on it. People with more knowledge, especially practical working knowledge over many fields, tend to have much more freedom in finding solutions. Now, an interesting question is how good at LLMs are at analogy, especially deeper transferable concepts?

Please read Hofstadter and you will know more about truly interesting questions.

  "Seinfeld isn't funny". Hofstadter was one of the pioneers of the "not uncommon" idea.

    Right, but there is a big difference between "not uncommon" as disparagement vs as invitation to take part. This is how Hofstadter can connect with such a large audience despite tackling really challenging and fascinating questions. Edit: it actually is very possible GP wasn't being disparaging, in which case truly sorry! I'm not trying to be too snarky.

      Eh, ya I was not being negative on his views at all and he writes a lot of interesting things for sure. It was more of the outlook that his works attracted me because they touched on things I had seen glimpses of.
