I disagree with the gist of your comment, but I upvoted it because this quote made me LOL.
That said, I don’t think that XiXiDu is claiming that computers can’t exhibit creativity, period. Rather, he’s saying that the kind of computers that SIAI is envisioning can’t exhibit creativity, because they are implicitly (and inadvertently) designed not to.
