What I find interesting is this...

GURPS developed rules for describing AI's as having an IQ based on certain
parameters.  If you posit AI brains in your campaign world, by the
definition above, the AI has a certain level of creativity.  Granted, if the
AI has an IQ of 6, it isn't all that capable nor all that creative, but it
still has a minimal level of creativity involved.
