Abstract
The common misconception among non-specialists is that a computer program can only perform tasks which the programmer knows how to perform (albeit much faster). This leads to a belief that if an artificial system exhibits creative behavior, it only does so because it is leveraging the programmer’s creativity. We review past efforts to evaluate creative systems and identify the biases against them. As evidenced in our case studies, a common bias indicates that creativity requires both intelligence and autonomy. We suggest that in order to overcome this skepticism, separation of programmer and program is crucial and that the program must be the responsible party for convincing the observer of this separation.
