Thinking about A.I, when the topic comes up of "what will these creatures do?" The obvious answer to me, is: design. The more intelligent the person, the more they create. Art and designing things will obsess the S.I . more than any other track of mind.
We have evolved to create, simply because we mimic evolution itself, the
ultimate creation pattern.
Art is but one name for the process.
