True, but that's how "inspiration" works in humans as well: generate stupid ideas until you stumble upon a great one.

That's why I said we only need verification. It's the artist-critic model, we got the artist we need the critic. Sometimes it's easy (in games, code, math) and other times we don't have a good way to verify.

I don't agree with this, but even if it were true, "inspiration" is not how we do math.

That's not even how the typical language model works.
