The complexity of the neural network process, and particularly the fact that neural networks appear to “learn” without revealing their methods, can give the impression that these networks have intelligence and are capable of creativity. As with genetic algorithms, however, we should not overestimate the abilities of neural networks or let comtivity mask a lack of true creativity. As we have seen, and will yet see, creativity need not be complex — in fact, creativity often produces the simplest, rather than the most complex, results.
