Minor point: lack of imagination is not the core problem haunting deep neural networks – the need for voluminous high quality labeled data and lack of “common sense” are bigger issues. GANS potentially can address the first, but the “Common Sense” challenge is a critical hurdle in getting to General Intelligence.

This comment was from a reader of the Tech Review article:
“Please see the three links below to see if you still think that GANs are the first imagination engines or if you think Ian Goodfellow is the first man who’s given machines the gift of imagination.”

1. Device for the autonomous generation of useful information – aka Creativity Machine https://patents.google.com/patent/US5659666

2. Published in December 2001. Feature article on “Warhead Design Creativity Machine” https://www.dsiac.org/resources/legacy_journals/wstiac-newsletter-volume-3-number-1

3. https://www.sbir.gov/sbc/imagination-engines-inc

4. http://www.imagination-engines.com/

I read through the patent and some of Dr. Stephen Thayler work with the DoD. Seems they were at least about a decade earlier than Goodfellow when they applied their Creativity Machine for autonomous navigation strategies of Hexapod Robots for the Air Force.

“..create its own crawling strategies for non-ideal surfaces..”

Would love your take on this.
