Inhalt:

Are mind and machine capable of solving the same tasks? Creativity is one of the arguments that some philosophers and psychologists use as a proof of what computers cannot achieve; however, these arguments might be based on a misconception of what both intelligence and creativity mean. This book provides arguments supporting that creativity, as storytelling, can be emulated through computer programs. The assumption of creativity presents a major problem: Complexity. Even if we consider creativity just as a product of novel ways of achieving a goal, the number of combinations found when dealing with the ¿real world¿ is astronomically huge. We can recall The Library of Babel (Borges, 1944), a library that contains any possible book that could be written in the history of humanity. This metaphor reveals the combinatory problem that emerges if a brute force algorithm is designed to generate texts. According to our hypothesis, our proposal is a heuristic that uses simple syntactic and semantic properties found in a text corpus in order to generate novel and coherent fiction texts based on what has been already written.
