One 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…
Comedians practice and code review their art with each other. And in review, they critique and improve their performances. the performance is probably the last 10% that takes another 90% of the time to master. So I get why most folks wouldn't want to spend the time.

I did write it and I appreciate the feedback on the joke. It’s hard to write comedy much more sharing with others. I knew the joke wouldn’t do well here! Anyhow, I don’t post LLM generated anything.
For what it's worth, I chuckled.

It wasn't hilarious, but it was more of a "joke" than many of the duds it delivered. I didn't end up using any of the jokes, but rather made a meta-joke about how I had asked chatgpt for jokes and had come up completely dry.
I've heard that one. It was funny almost a year ago. Not so amusing now

#55It 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…
These aren't that funny... I would even go so far as to say they are pretty bad.

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.

#60If/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…
Half of comedy (and nearly anything else) is timing. Having a model prompt in realtime will still result in awkwardly timed/delivery of jokes
