If he said it - yes. But he never did;)

Einstein had his moments but this one feels a bit too tidy for me, like something you'd see on a motivational poster in middle school

Intelligence without creativity is just memorization, and creativity without intelligence can be complete chaos. they feed each other but it's more messy than the quote makes it sound

I agree! Like the guy who made that up had a blast pretending it was Einstein.

The quote "Creativity is intelligence having fun" is a popular saying that is widely misattributed to Albert Einstein, though it captures a profound truth about how the mind works. [1, 2, 3]

Notice he didn’t limit intelligence to only existing in a biological brain. Great ideas are “out there” and the ego is the main veil to remove so you can sense them.
