I analyze a paper written by researchers from the University of Massachusetts evaluating the creativity of AI using numerous constraints on stories. The paper is a great approach, though I think more work is needed to properly assess originality and functional freedom.
Before going too deep down the rabbit hole of exploring artificial creativity, I think it is important to address whether the question is worth pursuing.
