I read an article some time ago that stated a majority of today’s important Theoretical Novelties is found by computer chess programs, not by human Grandmasters. Computers have revived many lines of play thought to be inferior or played out according to the article. I don’t know how they researched to find this information in the article, so I don’t know how true the information may be, but it seems possible. Given that chess programs bring a new and different perspective when looking at many positions.
