Well, if Rene Magritte or some similar artist produces a man riding a bicycle over a tightrope, he's being because he knows what people expect from "a man riding a bicycle over a river" but I think the machine doesn't know the normal expectations and so it's not being creative, just failing. A splatter sheet of an industrial painting operation may look like a Jackson Pollock print. The hired painters might even notice this after their shift. But if the process that produces this is just painting tractors, it's not creative either.
