Foul ups in brain functioning = Creativity?

On the topic of creative machines I came up with the idea, could creativity
be caused by foul ups in the functioning of our brain much like
hallucinogenics do but on a far tinier level? Should we simulate the
effects of acid on AIs to generate creativity? Perhaps some of us have more
fucked-up brains than others resulting in our greater creativity while
other far better functioning brains become engineers. I don't mind having a
fucked-up brain!
