This is cool. A few reactions:
1. Comedy writing is much more skill-based and formulaic than many people realize. Most people could learn how to write good jokes, just like most people could learn to play basic Go. (Beating Lee Sedol or Paul Mooney is another thing)
2. The resulting comedic quality is subjective. I agree with other commenters that several were LOL worthy.
3. Comedy has a long tradition of building on prior comedy, so this feels like a perfect area for building on curated corpuses.
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoWith a bit of training I'm fairly certain I could beat Paul Mooney at Go. Also, I'm pretty sure that this kind of quipping can't be easily automated. You need to be able to figure out why beating Paul Mooney at Go is not such a big deal as beating Lee Sedol at it _and_ why this could be considered a funny association to make in the context of the above sentence. This is actually hardcore AGI stuff, well beyond our current reach.
- dogruck 9y agoHehe, indeed. Long way to Go.
