Will AI ever be funny?
From our UK edition
Have you heard the one about the robot who walks into a bar? No? Well, maybe that’s because artificial intelligence hasn't quite nailed stand-up comedy yet. While AI can beat us at chess, drive cars, and even compose music, making us laugh seems to be its final frontier. I asked ChatGPT to write us a few jokes to show you examples: Me: Write me a funny joke.ChatGPT: Why don't scientists trust atoms anymore?... Because they make up everything! Me: Write me a funny joke but with dark humour.ChatGPT: Why don't graveyards ever get crowded?... Because people are dying to get in! Me: Write me a funny joke but it’s absurd humour.ChatGPT: Why did the scarecrow become a successful neurosurgeon?... Because he was outstanding in his field but needed a change of scenery!
