Are there examples of LLMs generating novel code? If so, who is it novel to?

Not trying to be a smart ass here, I’ve been keeping an eye out for years.

Maybe you can provide some examples of what you would consider to be “novel” code?

The proof of the Erdos problem the other day was called novel by Terrence Tao. That seems novel to me.

Everything is derivative of something else. “Novel” is a distinction for works which are minimally derived, but everything created is a remix of something else. Novelty is an illusion.

Are most circuits novel? I'd assume that there is enough out there to fit 80% of PCB design needs and sure it can still be bad at the remaining 20%.
