Shocking that humans are able to exist and not know this is how they work. Or maybe they made up their own purely rational language and I, grounded in the millennia of human culture distilled down thru my childhood, no longer perceive these True Unique Individuals.
I will say on a personal note: that believing one is Special and Unique, for me, is the residual of my childhood belief that the abuse I suffered gave me something Unique and Special; that belief removed the horror of it from my awareness, till I grew up and learned how to cherish the warm connectedness that is the ordinary birthright of humans. We need each other: for language, thought, context and motivation. while we all expressing different gifts and views of reality, we are all in the same existential boat. Whether ideas are generated by rolling dice, an LLM, mishearing a colleagues statement, a walk around the grassy park while mulling things over, the key thing is recognizing the value of the argument for the importance it can have. Part of that recognition takes place in the human body/brain, as one recognizes that the idea is excitingly apropos to such and such a context, and part of it takes place in the group dynamic, sharing, resharing, and discussing the value of the new idea. An LLM showing creativity is no diss on humans, any more than accidentally poisoning a bacterial culture with fungus, nor mishearing something mundane as something profoundly useful.
