This is analogous to the originality of the film director, conceptualized in auteur theory 24 as the primary author of a film (Sarris, 1962).

the critical skill of the future is not generating new ideas but curating those developed by generative AI. The role of idea curators will be crucial in discerning the most promising concepts, refining them to enhance their viability, and promoting them to gain widespread acceptance.
Gleb Tsipursky: With the rise of AI, creativity shifts from generation to curation
We will have so much abundance of ideas, that the true rare skill will not be to have great ideas, but to be able to pick the very best ones from huge pools of alternatives.
"Ideas that spread—whether firing neurons, viral memes, or galaxy formation—exist at the threshold between order and disorder. Too stable, nothing propagates. Too chaotic, nothing coheres.
The pattern: small perturbations occasionally cascade into massive reorganizations (power law distribution).
