    Actually imagining. The fact that we have created previously unheard of tools such as the hammer, the wrench, the automobile and the profylactic condom is ample evidence that we can actually innovate, something that artificial “intelligence” is incapable of doing by its very design. It can only remix.

      AI (or probably better call it machine learning) has been used in engineering to create new ways of building things lighter while still keeping the structural integrity.

      I think the point there is to iterate through millions of designs until you find one that meets the criteria or something

        Remixing isn’t innovation. Let me kmow when AI creates something that isn’t just a “new” spin on something else.

            Very recently. And even if I never had, that’s an old argument. The human brain is capable of doing so, even if some given human never does. AI is incapable of doing so by design.

            Let me explain this in a way you Americans can understand: The human brain is a gun. Even if most people just use it to pistol-whip others, it can shoot bullets. AI is a greasy cheeseburger. It will never shoot a bullet, and it’s also bad at pistol-whipping.
