   Color me skeptical. LLMs seem to make writing code faster, so of course that means that people can iterate on ideas faster, but I have yet to see actual creative output from an LLM that wasn't coached into it or random juxtaposition.

      Can you give me some examples of an actual creative output from a human that wasn't coached into it or random juxtaposition?

            Looks like a juxtaposition to me.

               yes but not random

                  sure. but to be fair, I don&#x27;t see a reason why AI couldn&#x27;t generate a non-random juxtaposition

                     How? Either you prompt it with “make me a ____” or you prompt it with “Generate a non-random juxtaposition”

                     In the first case you are directing the creativity, in the second you can ask for non-random all you want but the output will be definitionally random based on the training weights and the temperature setting of the prompt.

                  How so? Does repeated input give the same output?

                     yep
