I heard an opinion that ChatGPT doesn’t produce anything new and lacks creativity, as it only “recycles” old content.
I think ChatGPT can combine things from very separate domains and produce new things based on that.
But let’s say that ChatGPT only recycles old content.
Compare this to humans – do we create something from scratch, or do we think of what our predecessors did and only build on that?
Put a newborn in a forest, and that person will likely not do anything substantial with their life.
We need to copy a lot of things.
Sure, we can invent new things, after we know all that was in the past, and ChatGPT likely won’t do this.
For a while, at least.
