Look into every human’s brain and you’d see the same thing. How many humans can come up with novel, useful patents? How many novel useful patents themselves are just variations of existing tech?

All intelligence is pattern matching, just at different scales. AI is doing the same thing human brains do.

Hard not to respond to that sarcastically. If you take the time to learn anything about neuroscience you'll realise what a profoundly ignorant statement it is.

If that is the case, where are the LLM-controlled robots where LLM is simply given access to bunch of sensors and servos, and learns to control them on its own? And why are jailbreaks a thing?

Seeing as your LLMs need the novel output of human brains to even exist or expand capabilities, quite a lot.

But even if it's not a lot, it's more than the number of LLMs that can invent new meaning which is a grand total of 0.

If tomorrow, all human beings ceased to exist, barring any in-progress operations, LLMs would go silent, and the machinery they run on would eventually stop functioning.

If tomorrow, all LLMs ceased to exist, humans would carry on just fine, and likely build LLMs all over again, next time even better.
