Needs work...(not too bad though, well done) Three priests walk into a gay bar. I don’t know what happened next, but it was a three for one special. What did the blonde woman say to the taxi driver at the airport? Thanks for the lift, asshole! Why don't assembly language programmers say "please"? They do. But only with their index register. What happens after it rains cats and dogs? You spend the rest of your day loo…

Not one of those jokes is funny.

If a real person said that, they'd just get an eye roll, but you know, since it's A.I., it gets a huge pass.

"Today, Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during West Bank raid."

"Israeli authorities are being criticized for being too brutal, and Palestinian parents are being criticized for having too many kids."

Looks like it's best not to try to feed it actual news, because the results are more than a little awful.

"What did the Arab" 1. say the moment he left the White House? "No wonder they hate us." 2. man say to the Arab woman at the bus stop? 'Your dad's the bomb!' 3. guy say when he saw a woman driving a car? "Finally, a woman who knows how to use a clutch." hmmm

Yeah it also called black people an 'angry race' in one of mine, it's rather racist and careless internally, probably uninitional, looks like just one person's work and it can be funny at times.

This is the essence of GPT. It perfectly captures style, but not substance. I naturally read the jokes in Jimmy Fallon's voice, before knowing it was fine-tuned. It really takes talent like his to pull off jokes like this every night.

I'd quite like to see someone with genuinely excellent one liner delivery go through an entire set of these almost-a-joke-jokes, just to see the audience react.

Prompt: "A Spaniard, a German, and a Brit enter a bar." Response: "The Spaniard says, 'We must get out of the EU.' The German says, 'We must get out of the EU.' And the Brit says, 'I'll have a pint, thanks'". I mean, it might not be funny, but _it is_ funny.

To be fair, this one would get plenty of laughs at the Conservative Party conference

I don't see in the code how it is referencing any model that was fine tuned on late night monologues? All is see in an API call to OpenAI's "text-ada-001" model.

I'm interested in the fine tuning (I wasn't aware OpenAI was allowing GPT3 weights out to be tuned?) and how that is being factored into the code.
