The one thing LLM cannot do currently is read the room. Even if it contains all existing information and can create any requested admixture from its training, that admixture space is infinite. Therefore the curators role is in creating with it the most interesting output. The more nuanced and sophisticated the interesting work, the more role there is for this curation.

I kind of use it that way. The LLM is walking a few feet in front of me, quickly ideating possible paths, allowing me to experiment more quickly. Ultimately I am the decider of what matters.

This reminds me a bit of photography. A photographer will take a lot of pictures. They try a lot of paths. Most of the paths don't actually work out. What you see of their body of work is the paths that worked, that they selected.
