How do you know an llm cannot create new content. Humans create what they do out of existing information and molecular and neural interactions, so do llms except with electrical interactions. I have had llms produce novel content all the time.
You're confusing hidden relational information extracted from training data for "new content".
How do you think humans generate new content? Do you think they get new information from thin air?
From their own subjective experience.
Yes and? Still not seeing whats the special part you are seeing that's different here. LLM's have both the massive data they are trained on to draw from and working memory. I am not sure what this subjective experience you think is other than data and signals.
