This is assuming an unimplemented idea has value. I think the value we attribute to an idea is actually the dissemination of the idea to others. Often a sufficiently radical idea is difficult for others to grasp and therefore an example must be created by the originator of the idea.

So when someone says "That's a great idea" what they mean is "That's great work".

Time will tell if others see an idea backed by AI work as valuable. Can they even tell? Who knows.
