If we make the criteria too strict, then maybe I never had a single Original Thought™ in my life. Everything is just a remix.
I suspect that in practice, “original thought” means a combination that was never made (popular) before, if it seems to work or passes some other criteria (e.g. artistic), i.e. not just a random text.
I agree, but when people want to use the presence or absence of Original Thought™ as a criterion for judging the capabilities of AI, then drawing that line somewhere matters, and the judge should write it down, even if it is approximate.
