To imply that intelligent agents can only do things that are explicitly defined, while creativity is implied by intelligence...
In the case of an artificial agent, intelligence is explicitly defined. The agent does whatever is either explicitly defined, or what is implied by it. In the case of a creative, goal-oriented and generally intelligent agent this can be anything from doing nothing at all up to unbounded recursive self-improvement. But does general intelligence, in and of itself, evoke certain kinds of behavior? I don’t think so. You can be the smartest being around, if there are no internal causation’s that prompt the use of the full capacity of your potential then you won’t use it.
The salient issues in a discussion of hypothetical AI behaviors can and should be discussed without imbueing the AI with these very, very human abstract qualities.
I would love to see more technical discussions on the likely behavior of hyphothetical AI’s.
