I sent a joke I crossed to my family this morning. One brother commented that it had to be AI-generated, as it wasn’t a very good dad joke. I then went to AI, told it that we needed better dad Joe’s than this one, and waiting for its response.
Sadly, the jokes it provided were incredibly terrible. And I don’t mean in the sense of their being dad jokes and that dad jokes are terrible. I mean in the part where they were barely jokes at all, they were so bad. Cleverness was lacking greatly. Let alone the part where it’s supposed to be a dad joke, not a failed joke by a child (which is how most of them turned out). Despite multiple rounds of feedback, it still wasn’t creating anything funny by the end of it all.
Big bummer there. However, it does seem to suggest that AI can’t write jokes too well, at least not dad ones. That then suggests that the original joke likely was not AI-generated, as it was actually funny as a dad joke. It seems AI can’t do comedy so far. Hmm…
