Humor often involves the realization of incongruity (mismatch) between a concept and a situation, violations of social taboos or expectations, the resolution of tension or mocking and a sense of superiority. The mystery of what makes a joke funny – but only to some people | Sophie Scott - The Conversation

There are many theories about what makes a joke funny. According to psychology professor Alex Borgella, a joke is funny for one or more of the following reasons: Superiority, Relief, and Incongruity 1. The Benign Violation Theory (BVT) theorizes that a joke is funny when it meets three necessary conditions: “The presence of some sort of norm violation, be it a moral norm violation (robbing a retirement home), social norm violation (breaking up with a long-term boyfriend via text message), or physical norm violation (purposefully sneezing directly on a child) How to Write a Joke: A Full Guide to the Perfect Set-Up & Punchline | Suzy Woltmann - Backstage



In the future, our Assistants will be able to generate "tailored humor" that appeals to our particular sense of humor



Asked to Bard - What is the funniest chatbot: Bard, Bing, ChatGPT?

That's a tough question to answer, as all three chatbots are capable of being funny. However, if I had to choose, I would say that ChatGPT is the funniest chatbot. ChatGPT is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which gives it a wide range of knowledge and allows it to generate creative and humorous responses. For example, ChatGPT can generate jokes, puns, and other forms of wordplay. It can also create stories, poems, and other forms of creative writing.

Here are some examples of ChatGPT's humor:

  • "What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh!"
  • "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!"
  • "What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A pouch potato!"


Can ChatGPT Write a Late-Night Monologue??

  • AI Fallon: " Okay, here goes: Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide! See, that's the kind of classic, timeless humour that only a human brain can come up with. Well, that and maybe a five-year-old's brain, but you get the idea."
  • AI Colbert: "Big news today, folks! President Biden has announced that he will be running for re-election. That's right, the man who once said he didn't want to run for president because of his age is now saying, 'Age is just a number, and so is 78!' "Now, I know some of you might be concerned about President Biden's age. In a recent poll, 50% of Americans said they were worried about his age, and the other 50% were Joe Biden. But let's be real, folks, Biden's age is not a big deal. He's got the energy of a 30-year-old, and the memory of a... well, I forget what I was going to say."

Why is it Hard for a Chatbot to Tell Jokes?

  • Your Wit Is My Command: Building AIs With a Sense of Humor | Tony Veale ... provides a computational roadmap for how we might get there.
    • Explanations are to jokes what autopsies are to bodies: if the subject isn’t already dead, it soon will be.
    • Shows that computers can be built with a sense of humor, capable not only of producing a joke but also of appreciating one.
    • In order for robots to be funny we need to analyze humor computationally. Using artificial intelligence (AI), Veale shows that joke generation is a knowledge-based process--a sense of humor is blend of wit and wisdom.
    • Existing technologies can detect sarcasm in conversation
    • Explains how some jokes can be pre-scripted while others are generated algorithmically
    • There is no single algorithm or technology that we can plug in to make our virtual assistants or GPS voice navigation funny

    • Contextual Understanding: Humor isn't just a joke with an attached punchline. There is more subtlety to humor than just this. There are cultural references, sarcasm as a humor tool, and humor that relies on subtleties of language. All these play a large part in what we consider humor. Unfortunately, AI models to generate humor are still lacking.
    • Lack of Emotional Understanding: Humor plays on our emotions. Of course, the end result should be laughter, or it wouldn't be humor. But the road to that laughter can play on many human emotions. This is a subtlety that AI can't factor into its humor and jokes.
    • Timing: Timing is one of those things that is hard to teach. It is a feeling; it is judging when the perfect time to reveal that killer punchline has been reached. AI models cannot factor in timing when creating comedy.
