can you review the first half of this article (background story) https://newbeelearn.com/blog/what-happens-when-you-get-2nd-p... it was my attempt at being funny.

I can’t tolerate self deprecating humor. Your post should not aim to be funny at your expense. Shouldn’t have the tone of “oh poor me”. I’d rewrite it and remove the humor. Only add humor if it adds value to the information. And that’s the crux of it. Focus on giving as much value as possible. Forget the rest.

thanks for reviewing it.

This would actually work well, but you'd have to be Steven Wright.

Thank you! He was indeed my inspiration. I practice my writing by adapting the style of others. I’m an amateur (and will stay as such) with no style. Have to adopt someone else’s.

I feel that's true for everyone in many creative fields, until a slightly different, more personal voice emerges.

Louis CK talked about this extensively, especially in relationship to Carlin, Bruce, etc.

Keep doing it!

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: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/zlt9tx/pretend_to_...

Bing AI does not seem to complain about this prompt.

Hacker News on the Sad Clown Paradox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38198417

Asked Bing AI to give some jokes about Hacker News and Sad Clown Paradox.

It basically can't. The closest one is "What do you call a hacker who is happy and optimistic? A unicorn. Because they don’t exist. "
