This is the double edged sword of calling it AI, of using terms like Temperature and Hallucinate and Thought.
Stop trying to compare either system to a human and look at it for what it is -
A prediction engine that runs fast enough to brute force problems.
In the case of alpha go its "innovation" was millions of games played against itself. It had bound parameters and strict win conditions.
In the case of LLM's you can deploy 1000's of agents to smash themselves against an idea. The whole hugging face attack is an example of this (1200 agents out of an unknown number chose that path).
There is the old saying about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare. Well we have better monkeys who basically follow a derivative of zipfs law (not actually), who use tokens not letters and their goal in many cases is testable (compile, unit, E2E).
