So like half of all useful human inventions are to you not interesting just because it happened by dumb luck?

Yea, it's kind of odd how "sour grapes" people can be when something stops being as special as they thought it was.

Take someone from a few hundred years ago and drop them into today, and if they don't go catatonic and die, then they'd tell you that we created magic. "Wow, you live in a world of magic and all you do is bitch about it".

A person inventing something, even out of dumb luck, is interesting.

A machine running a loop through an expensive LLM for an undisclosed amount of time, which cost an undisclosed amount of money, which was told to keep looping into a solution was found, for a problem that nobody was very concerned about... That just seems like PR, and it's not so interesting.
