Very hard question to really answer. If Einstein said the sentences “are you sure? think about it”, you might spend years pondering what he meant. If GPT does you’ll ignore it. Same output but the context plus content will change what you do.
Same with a painting. If an old master draws a wireframe of a dog, people would bid it up at auction and wonder what he meant. If your kid or AI do, no money might change hands. Same output, different context.
Maybe the answer is a repeated game over time. We might learn the deep wisdom/artistry inherent in the model, or we might learn its limitations. Einstein didn’t arrive and emit one sentence. Dali didn’t just draw once picture. It’s hard to judge an AI from one output.

So you can’t just use the output, surely?
