Pretty much all invention is novel combination of known techniques. Anything that introduces a fundamental new technique is usually in the realm of groundbreaking papers and Nobel prizes.
The easiest way to see this for yourself is with an image generator. Try asking for a very specific combination of things that would not normally appear together in an artpiece.

its not a huge deal. i dont need the AI to invent a replacement to the for loop or map function; i only want it to use the those tools.
I'm the one providing the invention, it's transforming my invention into an implementation; sometimes better than others.
Is that actually proven?
