A machine can churn out plausible maybe-discoveries - things that may not be true, may not be workable, and may not be useful. Or, they may be all of the above. A huge mass of maybe-discoveries is actually not a very useful thing. Within it there are useful things, and (many more) useless things. Figuring out which is which is going to take a lot of work. Until someone puts in that work, the unfiltered spew of "ideas" is very close to noise.


There is no requirement that a patent actually work either. Nor is there a requirement that it has to have been implemented.
