That's an interesting claim I don't know how to measure.

Is that novel? I don't know. It feels a lot like the word games Lewis Carroll or Roald Dahl played, though.

Few of those have zero results in Google search and sound fit for the purpose.

Unfortunately none of this matters, because "no true novel AI" is at this point just the "no true Scotsman" fallacy over and and over again.

We'll need to learn the hard way. Thanks for the creative test.

If you're looking for ways to measure creativity, ask it for recipes and then ask it to adapt them. It'll give you a recipe that uses strawberries and anchovies if you ask it. But like the words, it's remixing existing content and knowledge. Is that creative? I don't know. It's what a chef does, though.
