How can we accurately evaluate whether an AI model has generated a genuinely novel concept?

Is there a widely accepted benchmark for measuring machine creativity or invention?

For that you need to to know whats “genuinely” in the training data

@TuhinChakr if you model an intractably large combinatorial space with a neural network, you generally get some kind of ability to map unseen points you can reliably get base models to say novel things the problem is that "novelty" in isolation =/= "novel & true/useful/culturally resonant"

@TuhinChakr one mans novelty is another mans ood output
