Re: Sounds like...
It's an interesting subject to explore and I should say I'm wholly unqualified to contribute more than base speculation but LLMs being transformational would be something quite special, wouldn't it?
An author did recently write a piece about how the LLM way of doing things is very similar to the way that authors in general, particularly successful ones do things, but as you say, it's the transformational nature of the human mind that is the key. You can learn how good novels are written by reading them, but the way a human mind works is very complicated and can an LLM do anything more than merely ape what it's learned?
