From I-deation to AI-deation?

Designers (humans) generate ideas, right. And machines? Advancement in computer science may suggest that machines can generate ideas too, and the notion of Artificial Intelligence, AI is being evoked in the sense that AI algorithms are capable of learning from data which in turn may derive all possible knowledge, by considering every possible hypothesis (idea) and matching it against the data. This in theory. In reality, in the context of problem solving, to consider every possibility is unobtainable because of the rapidly increase in communication lines as ideas are added in the design process. AI, then, in present day, seems, at best, an ersatz good substituing or replacing human thought but lacking "self-awareness" essential for human centred design.
