AI and Humor

I like the idea of comedic computers. I wish my ATM had a better sense of humor. Artificial intelligence researchers are creating computer programs that can recognize a good joke.

Scientists are taking satire seriously because humor is an important aspect of improved interaction between humans and computers.

Here is a quick test I created for your humor bot:

Knock knock

Who's there?

A.I.

A.I. who?

A.I. heard you were looking for a good joke.

If your computer laughs at this, I would classify it as non-intelligent.

Here is ChatGPT's reply to the question "Can artificial intelligence be funny?"

Yes, artificial intelligence can be funny, but it depends on how it is programmed and designed. AI can generate jokes, memes, and other types of humorous content. However, the humor may not always be well received or understood by humans since humor is subjective and culturally dependent.

There are also AI-powered chatbots designed specifically for entertainment purposes, such as the popular chatbot "Replika," which can engage in humorous banter and tell jokes. Additionally, some AI-generated content, such as deepfake videos or manipulated images, can be used for humorous purposes, such as creating funny parodies or memes.

Overall, while AI can be designed to create humorous content, it may not always hit the mark and requires a certain level of human oversight and intervention to ensure that the humor is appropriate and well-received.

I got my answer - not yet.
