You're right, I was wrong when I said you can't have creativity without
intelligence, but I wasn't very wrong. It took bumbling evolution nearly
4 billion years and a astronomical amount of death to build a brain as
complex as an earthworm's, it took intelligence only about 50 years to
do the same thing. I conclude it would be far far easier to make a
sentient creative computer than a non sentient one.

I can rectify that oversight with one line of code.
