I've been writing code with LLM assistance for over two years now and I've had plenty of situations where I am 100% confident the thing I am doing has never been done by anyone else before.
I've tried things like searching all of the public code on GitHub for every possible keyword relevant to my problem.
... or I'm writing code against libraries which didn't exist when the models were trained.
The idea that models can only write code if they've seen code that does the exact same thing in the past is uninformed in my opinion.
