@michael_nielsen Isn't a better question "SHOULD computers be creative"? ie: Why are humans creative? Is outsourcing that good for humanity?
The answer to this question seems so obv "yes" to me, I can't imagine otherwise. And yet others strongly disagree.https://twitter.com/samim/status/710805282478284800 …

@michael_nielsen What would you propose as a definition? -
@jeremyjkun I wouldn't get hung up on definitions for a question like this- defns come last. Roughly: ability to produce interesting novelty - 4 more replies

@michael_nielsen That is indeed strange. But "are computer programs creative today?". Obviously NO. And yet others strongly disagree… -
@DavidDeutschOxf@michael_nielsen is that obvious? It's not obvious to me that AlphaGo didn't play creatively. Depends on definition I guess

@enorris@TomChivers Correct. That's what real creativity is: unrestricted open ended exploration. Highly narrow game machines aren't that. -
@ToKTeacher@enorris iirc people said computers lacked the creativity for chess. Creativity is a spectrum, I'd say; they're (now) at one end - 1 more reply
