At the sametime I think you may be overvaluing new answers and the importance of reiterating known answers in a method the user asking the question understands.

For example, there is no intrinsic value in something new. If I take a new solution to a problem, lock it in a box, then it has zero value. It is not improving anyway.

Now, if I take a solution and present it to you in a manner that you can understand, that has an inherent value to the end user.

By this analogy attempting to say that LLMs are useless because they only know what already exists is far to harsh of measure because the vast volume of human output is rehashing what we already know.
