Simulated Creativity

To a certain extent it is possible to simulate how the composition of melody or symphony is created based on some rules. This could be enhanced perhaps with first creating a simulation of a psyche with generated emotional responses and memories of relationships, places, and ambience they create and then using that to create musical pieces. Styles and other stuff can be added, what would become very difficult in this would be originality in forming style or developing new generes of music. (This bares semblance to the way software writers need to adapt new ways to their work, testing, uml, documentation, refactoring)

Other arts could have something like this too.

Will this one day give us applications on our portable devices that gives us access to near expert level of artisan skill at the click of a button? Compare with style plugins for some paint programs(impressionist, cubist photos).
