If I may ask - how are humans in general different? Very few of us invent new ideas of significance - correct?

Firstly, "very few" still means "a large number of" considering how many of us there are.
Compared to "zero" for LLMs, that's a pretty significant difference.
Secondly, humans have a much larger context window, and it is not clear how LLMs in their current incarnation can catch up.
Thirdly, maybe more of us invent new ideas of significance that the world will just never know. How will you be able to tell if some plumber deep in West Africa comes up with a better way to seal pipes at joins? From what I've seen of people, this sort of "do trivial thing in a new way" happens all the time.
Not only "our context window" is larger but we can add and remove from it on-the-fly, or rely on somebody else who, for that very specific problem, has a far better informed "context window", that BTW they're adding to/removing from on-the-fly as well.
I think if we fully understood this (both what exactly ishuman conciousness and how llm differs - not just experimentally but theoretically) we would then be able to truly create human-AI
