Original thought in the age of AI

A provocation about human originality, intellectual risk and the difference between recombination and a new paradigm.

Original post · LinkedIn

ChatGPT wouldn’t have invented Bitcoin’s blockchain, because breakthroughs like that require:

- seeing a problem nobody has named yet
- forming a hypothesis with no training data
- taking intellectual risk with no guarantee of reward
- combining incentives, cryptography, game theory, and social reality into a coherent new system

I’ve yet to see an AI agent originate a truly new *concept*.

It can remix, optimise, summarise, translate, and even surprise you with a clever connection.

But the leap from nothing to a new paradigm is still human territory.

PhD-level novelty won’t be automated.
