Humor should be a good target for machine learning, since it's less intuition based and more based on repeatedly trying to be funny and gauging people's responses all the while.
Though it seems more "human" than some of the other ML tasks (eg be the best at Go), I wouldn't be surprised if comedy ends up being a highly successful application for these algorithms.
- theoh 9y agoBy "intuition" you must mean instinct -- but this isn't a separate category from learned behaviour for an AI that can be trained over the equivalent of many generations. In any case, botnik is not an autonomous AI, and humans are responsible for the important decisions (is this incongruous word funny?) when composing a text with it. So it's a long way from AI humour.
