I work with those people on a daily basis. There are legitimate critiques of the creativity, often tacitly acknowledged or fully ignored.
There's no one in the field making any legitimate claims to computational creativity. Maggie Boden did a fine job by inventing a few definitions of creativity and finding them in the output of machines, but it's all ultimately explicit rule-following.
- dnautics 10y agoI'd recommend this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_Concepts_and_Creative_Analogies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_Concepts_and_Creative_An... There's some interesting experimental models of computational creativity. Unfortunately, hofstadter's actual work in CS is somewhat overshadowed by his, uh other work.
- petra 10y ago>> but it's all ultimately explicit rule-following. Doesn't it fall into the problem of "you can't teach a machine to swim"? meaning that all we can fairly judge is whether the result would have been considered creative if done by a human ?
- archgoon 10y agoI'm pretty sure that 'cat' is not a particularly creative program, even if I give it Shakespeare.txt as it's input.
- xapata 10y ago> explicit rule-following I'm willing to bet that human creativity is indistinguishable from rule-following with the occasional dice roll. Machines are currently not as creative as humans, but I don't see why they couldn't be.
