No one person can invent robotic creativity, therefore a team is necessary. If we presume that the team is comprised of members renowned the world over for their robotics and programming work, and are leaders in their field it doesn't guarantee success (even with technology 200 years from now).
We cannot even agree what creativity is and where/how it comes from the human brain. Without a full understanding of creativity, which I'm sure a few bus-loads of philosophers and psychologists could never agree upon, that is communicated without flaws to an expert robotics team... I hope you see the ridiculousness of this idea.
For all our understanding and consensus on the matter, creativity might as well be magic. And, as much as I've programmed and studied theory... I still don't know how to implement magic.
Unless, of course, Ruby or Python already have "creativity" metaprogramming?

- ugh 15y agoIt's a hard problem, that's all. Not in principle impossible.
- trebor 15y agoThen we'll have to agree to disagree. I agree that the principle is possible because I view almost every principle as possible. But I think the achievement of said principle is far beyond man's capabilities. And I think the primary limiter is us, that we cannot produce something greater than our own intelligence. (I have seen many try, and fail, to build something that reaches even their own intelligence.)
