That's quite literally how an LLM works though? That's like scoffing at people calling computers binary generators. Or am I not getting with the programme enough and it emits pixie dust and rainbows?

Yes, LLMs emit tokens. And human brains emit nerve impulses. Both devices are "trained" on corpora of data.

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the mechanism that generates those signals is complex enough to say that it's "creative."
