Uttam Mukhopadhyay asks, in AIList Vol 4 #148 :- >Is there more to creativity than making interesting analogies? I am >inclined to believe that making interesting analogies is at the heart >of all intelligent activity that is described as creative. Hmmm... A friend described another friend as a potentially good novelist, because ``she always has a radically different view in the situation; she always has a new angle''. But is there analogy tucked away in her reasoning? And would we be able to elicit that knowledge from the `expert'? Finally, *is* creativity always intelligent, and in what sense of the word -- AI, machine intelligence or human intelligence? As for analogy, we always need hooks to hang ideas on, don't we?
