  "text": "Terence Tao put it plainly: there is no evidence that LLMs exhibit genuine creativity.\n\nYes, they have solved some Erdős problems. But these are low-hanging fruit, questions that attracted little attention and that yield once the right existing techniques are applied. That is not creativity. That is search plus recombination.\n\nYes, LLM outputs can look impressive. But look at who is impressed: typically non-experts. Experts know very well that LLM performance gets terrible when you  approach the frontier of human knowledge.\n\nAnd this is not a temporary gap. It reflects a structural limitation.\n\nWe do not fully understand human creativity. But we do know a key property:\n\nConceptual leaps: the ability to generate new representations, not just recombine existing ones.\n\nLLMs do not do this. They interpolate in representation space. They operate within existing conceptual frameworks; they do not create new ones.\n\nThis is why we haven’t “yet seen them take the next step”.",
