RATIONALE Koza et al., genetic programming John R. Koza, Martin A. Keane, Matthew J. Streeter, Thomas P. Adams and Lee W. Jones, Invention and creativity in automated design by means of genetic programming, AI EDAM, Volume 18, Issue 03, June 2004, pp 245-269 Koza demonstrates that with enough computing power and time a "genetic programming" approach is capable of producing significant electrical designs that are good enough to be patented. The issue is whether this is a system that is being creative. Note that the representation, the operations on the populations of designs, and the fitness function used, are all key to the program's ability.
