It’s also work that an LLM cannot do: they are symbol manipulators, not creators of symbols.
This is something that really irks me when I see the word "novel" used to describe an output of a LLM. No, those things are not capable of actually doing anything novel, because novelty implies new symbols, not a less common combination of the existing ones.
