  Found an interesting article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch about a St. Louis resident's urlLink amazing creativity software . Stephen Thaler's software can actually write original music, create new words, and produce new marketable products, like the urlLink Oral B CrossAction toothbrush . By introducing noise into a neural network, his Creativity Machine actually produces new ideas. His first patent was for a Device for the Autonomous Generation of Useful Information, the official name of the Creativity Machine... His second patent was for the Self-Training Neural Network Object. Patent Number Two was invented by Patent Number One. Think about that. Patent Number Two was invented by Patent Number One! Could this be a first step toward an actual artificial intelligence? Creativity is one of the cornerstones of human intelligence. It is certainly a fascinating development and I suggest reading the article and visiting Thaler's company website for more information on the urlLink Creativity Machine .
