How I Would Program a Computer to Be Creative

First we must put in all the data from WikiPedia and dialogues from teenagers in chat rooms, business miscellaneous emails, coffee shop conversations and chatter from the lines at the post office, DMV, barber shops, hospitals, church groups and bowling alleys. We need to load in the Library of Congress and information from every language and time in history.

Once we have loaded all the data, then I would suggest we start loading pictures and images and correspond those images and pictures with words to describe them. Then, we should have the artificially intelligent computer databases scramble or search throughout the databases for like characters in string together ideas of similar nature across many industry sectors or scientific domains - Finding anomalies and similarities.

This is how the creative mind works in a human, as they use their memory to bring up things to do their problem-solving or doing creative thinking. I think this is how I would program a computer to be creative and perhaps the artificial intelligent programmers need to be thinking here. Many new innovations and inventions are incremental steps that are found from the changes in one scientific domain and then carried over into other endeavors.

A synergy is created as each new idea brings forth possible applications and problems to solve or challenges to make it work in another field. Having a computer that can come up with such scenarios might be worth quite a bit of money and be able to solve some problems that mankind cannot solve very quickly using the organic brain. Perhaps we should be thinking here or hire a computer to.
