There was a post here on hacker news not that long ago where GPT4 came up with "the confetti has left the cannon" when asked for an original phrase similar to "the cat is out of the bag".

Other users confirmed Google could not identify any other use of that phrase.

People saying GPT4 is unoriginal have an uphill battle, it is not the default assumption of anyone who has worked with it.

Confetti cannon is a thing. So there is an obvious link between confetti and cannon. Furthermore, These ("cannon" and "conffetis) are two very common concepts used in a single sentence.

Excuse me for being genuine but I totally fail to understand how original the phrase is.

Why don't you come up with an example of a new phrase with the same meaning that is actually original so we can compare your "real" originality to this "fake" originality?

ChatGpt is as original as us but cannot ever surpass us because it needs our feedback loop. It is a mirroring of sorts after all.

If it could become extremely creative, push the limits and make ideas so advanced that we can’t understand then it failed at the task so to speak. It always remix idea into larger idea sallads and get our upvotes downvotes. It is a great tool but a tool nonetheless.
