People have been grappling with the question of artificial creativity -- alongside the question of artificial intelligence -- for over 170 years. For instance, could we program machines to create high quality original music? And if we do, is it the machine or the programmer that exhibits creativity? Gil Weinberg investigates this creative conundrum. \[Directed by TOGETHER, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Mason Bretan, Nick Sewell and Shimon the Robot\].
