    Surely a system designed to regurgitate existing data with some randomization will come up with new solutions for novel problems not in their data set!

    I mean, it will spit out something because it is designed to output something. Surely it will all work out!

      “New” is doing all the heavy lifting there.

      New as in didn’t exist before? Yes. For instance a model of ford that looks like a Toyota Yaris, is new.

      New as in, has characteristics that don’t appear in the training data… Far less likely.
