> You are a creative synthesizer. Your task is to find deep, non-obvious,
and potentially groundbreaking connections between the two following concepts.
Do not state the obvious. Generate a hypothesis, a novel analogy,
a potential research question, or a creative synthesis.
Be speculative but ground your reasoning.

In addition to the other criticisms mentioned by posters ITT, a problem I see is: What concepts do you feed it?
Obviously there's a problem with GIGO. If you don't pick the right concepts to begin with, you're not going to get a meaningful result. But, beyond that, human discovery (in mechanical engineering, at least,) tends to be massively interdisciplinary and serendipitous, so that many concepts are often involved, and many of those are necessarily non-obvious.
I guess you could come up with a biomimetics bot, but, besides that, I'm not so sure how well this concept would work as laid out above.
There's another issue in that LLMs tend to be extremely gullible, and swallow the scientific literature and University press releases verbatim and uncritically.
