So is it that humans are inherently creative, machines could never do what we do? Or is it that humans will only replicate our training data, and so we have to ensure that machines don't bound our training data? Or are you going meta and gently pointing out the absurdity? (I hope it's this one!)

I think I have an answer. Human's don't have "training data" in the same way we think of LLMs, yes you can walk outside your house and quantify every electromagnetic pulse, random pertubation etc and then "train on it". But that isn't how people process information. We have the ability to process our entire "existence" if that makes sense, which means the density is much higher.

The LLM is bounded by it's training data, and relying on it means we are as well.
