It was just the URL. :-) AARON is a thirty-year old drawing program that produces convincingly artistic images. You could argue that AARON is a creation of or an embodiment of, or satisfies, or reflects the ego of Harold Cohen (its author), but it certainly doesn't have an ego when it produces images.
Cohen's ideas about the cognitive nature of representation may be useful when considering 'egoless' art.
