Humans learned from prior art, and most of their inventions are modifications of prior art. You a are after all, mostly a biological machine.

The point is - there are so many combinations and permutations of reality, that AI can easily create synthetically novel outcomes by exploring those options.

It's just wrong to suggest that 'it was all in some textbook'.

"here’s just no reason to believe that it is anything more than it is "

It's almost ridiculous at face value, given that millions of people are using it for more than 'helping to write react apps every day'.

It's far more likely that you've come to this conclusion because you're simply not using the tools creatively, or trying to elicit 'synthetic creativity' out of the AI, because it's frankly not that hard, and the kinds of work that it does goes well beyond 'automation'.

This is not an argument, it's the lived experience of large swaths of individuals.
