ChatGPT Is Funnier Than You

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 style of Chappelle but you won’t be able to perform it as well (meaning as well as Chappelle performing his own jokes).Will that ever change? I don’t know and I truly don’t care. Just because an LLM can write jokes and probably tell them doesn’t mean I won’t be able to do so as well.

This 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 point, we just want to see what happens. But I personally don't really understand the appeal. People play soccer to win, sure, but they also play for fun.Being funny is like this too, it's fun. Asking ChatGPT to write a joke for you doesn't seem fun.

Funny is unexpected but revealing.That's the opposite of what LLMs give us.It's why LLM fake Carlin wasn't really funny. Or like Carlin. Carlin was always chasing the noise we all heard and knew was real but the stuff lost in the pattern of the status quo.ChatGPT is not funny, so if it's funnier than you, just vote down. You're not going to get any funnier.

If/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 that generative AI can make.It will be interesting to see if there remains a certain type of humor that people have a monopoly on. It will also be interesting to see if people end up being 'trained' on how to be funny, through the act of being prompted to be funny by AI. It's going to be a weird world, where only some of us will remember the time when you could trust that people's jokes/statements/questions originated in their own brains.

If we really wanted it to be good, we'd see a humor classifier trained that could be put in front of a generative process which spit out hundreds of variations and see what the classifier picked as funniest.Most human comics refine their material by trying it out on tough crowds.Generation without feedback and refinement isn't going to be all that great, but with the proper refinement pipeline, who knows - maybe it can be outstanding.

> "The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that the joy of humor came from delight in feeling superior to the person who was the butt of the joke"This one made me chuckle. I think because it highlights the primal nature of humans who regard themselves as more civilized and superior to others... My feeling of superiority over those primal judgmental people brought me delight, which made me realize my own primal nature... Which made it funnier.Then I realized that laughing at one's own self is the ultimate sign of superiority which made me feel yet more superior and delighted.

This assumes jokes are as effective when written and read with no performance in the middle. I love Jimmy Carr but I think more than half of his jokes are funny only because he is the one telling them.

I got these from a custom model and they didn't seem to be in Google:Yo mama so fat......when she breaks a plate it's considered a strategic military strike...when she sucked in her stomach there was a breeze...when she fell in love there was a whale song...every time I call her I get charged for an international phone call
