> Creativity is connecting ideas from different domains and see if something from one field applies to another.

That's true. The question is whether the produced pattern has any value. LLMs are incapable of determining this, and will still often hallucinate, and make random baseless claims that can convince anyone except human domain experts. And that's still a difficult challenge: a domain expert is still needed to verify the output, which in some fields is very labor intensive, especially if the subject is at the edge of human knowledge.

The second related issue is the lack of reproducibility. The same LLM given the same prompt and context can produce different results. This probability increases with more input and output tokens, and with more obscure subjects.

The tools are certainly improving, but these two issues are still a major hurdle that don't get nearly as much attention as "agents", "skills", and whatever adjacent trend influencers are pushing today.

And can we please stop calling pattern matching and generation "intelligence"? This farce has gone on long enough.
