But i'm sure those theorums make a few assumptions...
The trick is that they make MINIMAL assumption. Do you need me to explain?

NASA designed them for a specific program. Three antennae that they developed though the above program are currently deployed in space
Being pretty is a horrible measure of an antenna, and furthermore you completely missed my point. A computer created that antenna. Does that make it creative?
One could easily add a notion of aesthetics into the fitness function of a genetic algorithm. For NASA's application it would be completely retarded to do so, but it is far from impossible
I can't fathom why you're harping on about 'good looking antennas.' NASA wasn't designing something pretty and it is not a shortcoming of computers that they did not. If making 'pretty things' is necessary for intelligence (an idiotic notion, but whatever, I'll run with it) I would direct you to the Electric Sheep screensaver. When you have this screensaver installed, you can at your leisure mark whatever the screensaver happens to be showing as either good or bad. That input is used with another genetic algorithm to create new images and animations based on what people like and don't like. The results are often quite spectacular.
I would suggest downloading it and running it for a few minutes for a better idea. Still images cannot do Electric Sheep justice
Still the robot was programed to do the work, it is not an initiative of the machine to make one.

Creativity is something that you develop from your insight or your thoughts, and these robots can repeat and associate ideas and information only. What about asking them, hey dude, how do you feel today? Did you rest well last night? Are you in love with Tarah's laptop?
They cannot think.
Yes indeed, check the ancient art, look the ancient tools, observe their drawings, even the rustic ones, since his appearance on earth man was looking for aesthetic, something that machines can't feel. One main base of creativity is aesthetic.
Oh yeah? Look how beautiful the space machines are, the designs of most of the equipments and instruments, we do enjoy creativity, we cover the ugly and bored looking algorithms with beauty.
Abstract art. Even children with poor initiatives can do abstract art.
Creativity is more than letting loose the elements and observe them making figures at random. Come on.
Creativity is to invent something new even without knowledge of much technology or of other branches of knowlege, like Jules Verne inventing stories where a look alike TV was thought.
Look, machines have not thoughts, like thinking about their future or why you built them, and as long as they are boxes accepting your programs, the machines will only give back what the input information can work best by your needs, not so by their own findings.
The former antennas in comparison with the new antennas is the result of trial and error in your programs, not so the machine's attempts, because the machine has an artificial brain but it has not what we have: mind.:coffeepap
You should look into the various chatbots that compete in Turing Test competitions. The Turing Test is an exercise in which a human judge converses with an unknown counterpart that may be another human or may be a computer. If the second party is a computer and the judge cannot tell that it is a computer, the computer is said to have passed the Turing Test. It's a well known problem in computing and one that generates a good deal of interest, and some of the bots are getting pretty damned good. One example of such a bot is Jabberwacky's George. You can, in fact, ask George "Hey dud, how do you feel today?"
Everything a human does can all be broken down to patterns.
Just equate personality types to a given circumstance and reactions are very predictable.
It is entirely possible in theory. Some hacks have attempted, usually on the basis of fragile ego or religious zeal, to "disprove" that, but both their understanding of what a proof is, and the logic they employ, are always demonstrated to be false.Do you think it is possible to make something (like a robot) thats 'creativity' is greater than that of a human?
Entirely possible, and probably if we make AI at all, it will simply be a technological path to greater and greater intelligence.Or can you make a robot with greater 'intelligence' than that of a human?
In which case that robot would know he is greater than you, and take advantage of you...(IRobot anyone?)

Basically, can humans make something smarter/more creative than themselves?
It's a pretty deep topic :doh
Yes, It has been proven. See Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator to Governer of California.
