    My favorite exchange on ChatGPT (back in March):

    **You**
    Tell me a dad joke.
    
    **ChatGPT**
    Why did the tomato turn red?
    
    Because it saw the salad dressing!
    
    **You**
    Can you explain to me why that joke is funny?
    
    **ChatGPT**
    Sure, I'd be happy to explain why that joke is considered funny!
    
    The humor in this joke comes from a play on words and a bit of misdirection. The first part of the joke sets up an expectation that there will be a serious or logical explanation for why the tomato turned red. However, the punchline delivers a silly and unexpected answer that has nothing to do with the actual reason for the tomato's color change.
    
    The play on words is in the phrase "saw the salad dressing." The word "saw" can be interpreted in two ways: as the past tense of "see" (as in, the tomato observed the dressing) or as a cutting tool (as in, the tomato was physically sliced by the dressing). This creates a bit of confusion and a humorous mental image, which is why the joke is often considered amusing. Additionally, the idea of a tomato being aware of salad dressing is absurd and adds to the silliness of the joke.
    

    We went on a bit further with me pointing out that their murder take was distasteful, and it responded that humor is subjective.

    Humor is the ultimate Turing test. If a computer can convincingly make a joke, it’s pretty much indistinguishable from a human. But just like a human can’t replicate the flawless efficiency of a bot, a bot can’t replicate the spontaneity and creativity of human humor.

    So next time you’re cracking up at a funny meme or video, remember that you’re not just laughing at a string of pixels; you’re laughing at the collective intelligence and creativity of humanity. And that’s something even the most advanced AI can’t quite grasp

      Heh, maybe, but a tad bit simplier than that. Initially I thought if these blockchainey proof-of-work technologies could be really applied somewhere. And making a person put together a situation in their head and laugh is not so far from making ASICs do these metal-melting calculations and signal back to get a crypto comission. Just a proof that the other side can put 2+2 together to get 4, but of a more humane nature.
