"Humans can dream up ideas that the world has never seen. Machines typically repeat or enhance what they have seen before."

Errr.... we "dream up ideas" based on the experiences and knowledge we've received over our lifetimes same as LLMs, in a sense at least. Like it or not, we're input-processing-output entities too (and functioning on surprisingly-starved power & bandwidth.)

Making humans sound uniquely special is for religion, not science.

I get the business model, and it will likely be successful in getting the xbox into more hands. Unfortunately, what this also means is that developers will always have to program to the lowest common denominator. E.g. This removes the possibility of a future game so complex/detailed, or physics-oriented etc. that it could only run at 60fps at 1080p *on the Series X*... instead they'll have to dumb it down to run on the Series S. Further... there's such minor difference in fidelity between 1440p and 2160p (4k) among the general population they're rendering the top tier Series X mostly pointless for all except the show-off crowd. The Series S is effectively their next-gen console now. It's impressive how they effectively communicated to the community that the *Next Xbox* is superior to the PS5 by pumping the Sereis X first... and yet their actual primary console is much less so. Borderline bait & switch IMO.
