ChatGPT is funnier than you *unless you want politically insensitive jokes.
ChatGPT was able to be funny in a politically incorrect way at the beggining:

#32If/when generative AI gets good at jokes, it's going to cause a big change in how people react to humorous utterances. If gmail can nudge you to insert jokes at the drop of a hat, anyone can be funny on email. If a Google Glass-like device (or even just AirPods Pro+) can listen to your conversation and prompt you with a joke to make, then anyone can be funny IRL. It will cheapen humor, or at least the kind of humor t…
I don’t think that will happen. You can fake almost anything, but you can’t fake funny.
But you can "add humor" to your communication with light joking - often with a self-depreciative take
"I'll get back to you assuming I remember where my head is tonight!"

#33God no. I tried using it to get some “first message” on Tinder and it’s absolutely awful at it.

Anyone can insert "jokes" into an email, and they will fall completely flat.
The human thing is to judge the other person, yourself, your relationship, the context of the email, and what you want to achieve with it.
Are you trying to disarm? Flirt? Entertain? Validate? Suck up? Impress? Make someone groan?
And if it backfires, ouch.
The hard part now isn't the joke part. It's the right type of joke in the right place at the right time. And AI doesn't know enough about each of your relationships or what exactly you're trying to achieve with each interaction...

#35One of my few hobbies is writing standup comedy jokes. To give you some insight into my style, here is non-offensive joke: I recently bought myself a do it yourself boat kit from Amazon. Haven’t finished assembling it yet. Just need to add water. Anyhow, I’ve really tried to use multiple models to aide in writing but they fall short. Mostly due to comedy being a performance art. You can try and write a joke in the st…
I’m perplexed by this comment on a few levels. Is this one of those replies on LLM-related posts that’s entirely LLM-generated to prove a point or whatever?
Because… that joke isn’t funny at all, right?

#36It was super buried, having to find the link to the paper [1] to the data [2] but finally found the document with the actual ChatGPT satirical Onion-style headlines [3]. The full list of 20 results, which it seems criminal that the article didn't include or link to directly so we can judge for ourselves: 1. "Local Man Discovers New Emotion, Still Can't Describe It Properly" 2. "Woman Declares Herself Mayor of 'Laundr…
I don't think these are even really jokes. Maybe it can generate onion headlines when seeded with few-shot-prompting but if you ask it "tell me a joke" it is not good at all in my experience

That sounds a bit silly. Why can't funny be "faked?" Plenty of successful comedians practiced and had to learn to be funny. So there's clearly a method to it.
Sense of humour (intelligence) is about the ability to find improbable, but insightful things. I believe spitting out patterns extracted from training data is not capable of producing anything close to that.

I didn't think it was LLM-generated, but wouldn't be surprised if it was. What tipped you off, and what makes you so certain? Is there a checker you can easily run it through?
Re: ChatGPT Is Funnier Than You
#40This is the actual point of AI right? The point of AI, to tune and refine everything to be objectively better than humans in every possible respect, basically just to see what that looks like, and then potentially reap the economic benefits of this betterment ? I saw someone on here being excited about when robots can beat humans at soccer, I know we can do this, and I know this will happen, and I guess that's the po…
If your job is to write jokes for a talk show then having AI do it sounds good (if you keep your job and its gets easier) or possibly bad if you are replaced by the machine.
