How can I generate unique patterns, as they did for these Nutella jars? See, for example, the video Algorithm designs seven million different jars of Nutella.

You are probably looking at something like randomly generated constructive grammars. Not sure if that is considered an AI technique. Nowadays you might also choose to use a GAN (which is definitely considered a modern AI technique), but to do so with abstract shapes and patterns like in the picture you would proabably generate a training set using some randomly generated constructive grammars . . . – Neil Slater Feb 01 '20 at 10:27

Some excerpts from Nutella 'Hired' an Algorithm to Design New Jars. And It Was a Sell-Out Success:
The "algorithm" is called HP Mosaic and is included free in HP SmartStream Designer for HP printers.
More about how the algorithm works here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/hp-mosaic-20-steven-chow
HP Mosaic takes the vector PDF file as input (also known as a Seed file), and generates a large number of variations on the file by transforming it — scaling, transposition, and rotation — randomly.
