I'm not asking for anything close enough to the boundary for questions like that to be difficult. There are some ML systems like AlphaGo that have crossed the line in specific domains. It's just that making self-play and online learning work for huge LLMs is highly non obvious.

The idea is simply that the basic idea behind LLMs, that you're distilling the entropy out of the entire available world of text, is antithetical to creativity.

Further developing on the theme of self-play, humans have the ability to sense what we want (intellectually) and reach for it communally over thousands of years. It's an innate quality, and if AI starts participating (contrast to giving people psychosis) we will all be able to tell.

Idk, I mean, Shakespeare never read Shakespeare, so, I mean, unless aliens?
