Stories and music, their character, comes from combined motifs and themes. These are what gives them meaning. Creation is tied to meaning; one can’t separate human meaning out of the conversation. Without human meaning - new perspectives gained, beauty found - all things are equivalently pointless, and all an LLM is doing is shifting (very high-order, having gone through the steps to end up in training data) entropy around.
Music is combined notes. Stories are combined words. Newton combined existing mathematics to produce calculus.
I'm wondering if you can name anything that counts as a "creation" under your definition?

No - I mean my question genuinely. I'd like you to name one specific creation that isn't a combination of what has come before it.
I'd rather get specific than talk about hypotheticals.
