... Problems must be presented to the AI. This is an important point because problem finding plays a consequential role in the creative process (Getzels and Csikszentmihalyi 1976;Mumford, Reiter-Palmon, and Redmond 1994). Problem finding is actually an umbrella term and has been operationalized in various ways, including problem discovery, problem formulation, problem generation, problem construction, and problem identification (Abdulla and Cramond 2018;Runco 1994). ...

... Redvall also used the notion that creativity has been described as a process of problemfinding and problem-solving. Getzels and Csikszentmihalyi emphasise problem-finding as a crucial part in the creative process in relation to making works of art (Getzels and Csikszentmihalyi 1976). Problem-finding is the divergent phase in the process, when judgement is largely deferred, and all creative paths are open for consideration. ...
