Language reflects thought. LLMs are a search function over text, text that reflects previous thought; they cannot create.

> they cannot create
Every single day we have new and wondrous examples of the things LLMs have created.
Clearly we are using very different definitions of the word.
Synthesize != create. A new combination of existing things is different from a new thing
Music is combined notes. Stories are combined words. Newton combined existing mathematics to produce calculus.
I'm wondering if you can name anything that counts as a "creation" under your definition?
