This makes sense, but it also causes concern. With AI whether it is content or programming, losing the new novel approaches which may wind up being better in the long run, get shut down for expediency in the short run. This is nothing new and not AI specific behavior, large comoanies have been doing this forever, but it leads to a death of innovation and a spiral inward of self reinforcing loops. You are absolutely right that llms won’t know it and will need to learn something like this all over, but they are good at that and if we stop to find better patterns (which is what humans are great at doing) we keep creativity alive and find meaning while making our work more productive in the long term.
