What makes humans is recognising and matching certain patterns together. I could imagine that the simplest form of robot creativity would be simply to try as many different things together as possible. In that sense having extremely creative robots could also be a thing, just that their creations would be totally random and would pratically never work. | |

So the robots would be limited to whatever they could find with specific instructions, and at most would be capable of mixing and matching instructions together, but would be unable to make creative leaps or make anything truly innovative. Therefore their survival would be dependent upon finding blueprints and manuals for new tech, and they would need some other form of sentient, organic life to keep them from going the way of their makers. Nice! | |
