- Amazon is full of AI books, and they're clearly making money. AI has won multiple literary and artist awards.

- Okay, it's not a "new company" idea, but VendingBench is all about ability to run a company

- Plenty of people disagree with you on conversational quality; see "AI Boyfriends" etc.. (and it's not hard to find people who consider it uniquely valuable for discussing mental health)

- "come up with its own ideas or theories that nobody else has presented" C'mon, seriously? Solving a half-dozen hard open math problems wasn't enough there? What the heck counts as "it's own ideas or theories" at this point?

- plenty of evidence that custom models are starting to do well on the stock market, although I'll admit we're a year or so from any solid proof, since you need a track record to really make the claim

- LLMs have been capable of being a GM for a TTRPG for over a year (although like humans, they make mistakes)

- Okay, conceded, but humans tend to take years and large teams to make a game. Even if the capability existed today, it would take a while to actually build, test, market, etc.. - all made much more complicated by gamers being largely opposed to AI art styles, etc..

- "be able to sort through research and come to conclusions on complex geopolitical/sociological topics" - uh... did you mean to say something else, because "come to conclusions" is... like, LLM 101?

- Hahaha, have you met humans? We definitely cannot do that.

- Uh... thinking about it's own thinking is trivial. Most LLMs these days are built using LLMs, so uh, self-optimization seems nailed, too? We just don't let them do it unsupervised.

- LLMs fucking love to wonder about things

- "observe contradictions and ironies in the social-consciousness" really seriously have you actually used an LLM recently? I think you would find it remarkably enlightening.
