alt Hacker NewsI'd argue it is the other way around - LLMs are great at pure creativity, creating something that never existed before, but not always at "pulling in information that’s new TO YOU". I use them for entertainment - jokes, short flash fiction etc. and they are excellent at it.

I too am entertained by LLMs.
Morbid fascination.

What?
They literally generate stuff that's averages of other stuff.
It's not interesting in the least

They're terrible at jokes. I bet any good joke they've given you is simply new TO YOU.

Interesting because pure creativity is the most prominent thing they can't do by design.
