The naivety of these systems leads to output that we perceive as creative or playful. Personally, I've used simple Markov models to create texts or melodies that I then selectively recombine to write new music. The computer-created material is familiar but different enough from what I or a human might produce that it leads me to push my own creativity in new directions.
