Trivial to prove false: ask a LLM to invent 10 new words. Then google them, most will not have any result.

Not sure what this is supposed to prove. Yes it can generate new words - that’s the application of established creative patterns to come up with plausible-sounding words. A different thing is to come up with a novel idea, which (in this case) is about creating a new pattern itself.

depends on what you consider novel thinking.
