AI generation of inventions could be used as a massive DOS attack on the patent system, by producing millions or billions of inventions immediately placed into public view as prior art.
I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier, but reading this thread overwhelmed me with possibility and I just had to drop my fusion reactor patent into notebook LM. The podcast was nice, but there was nothing inventive about it. The world is moving so fast right now, but it's not quite there... it will be soon, but not yet. There is still so much we humans still have to do.
