I agree with everything you’ve written here, so I’m not sure what the “But” that’s starts your comment is contrasting.

I was answering the question “But how is this different from a person?”. Being asked for something new and finding something that already exists with the word “new” in front of it isn’t normal human behavior. That’s how it’s different from a person.

Zooming out a bit, I think there’s some confusion in this whole chain. There’s a common topic about ChatGPT you could call Question of Creativity. If you ask for a new poem, it just smashes together its patterns around poems. You can debate if this is creativity, and if not, how are humans different. A few comments up, someone brought in a different idea you could call New Matching. If you ask for a new poem it will just grab you a poem that had the words “new poem” in front of it. New Matching is a different idea than Question of Creativity. The person I replied to seemed to be mistaking one idea for the other.
