No AI in humor: R2-D2 walks into a bar, doesn’t get the joke
- karmakaze 8y ago"For comedians that’s job security. Bishop said her parents were happy when her brother became a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine." I'll state for the record that this too will fall, sooner than expected. I was surprised by AlphaGo. That day divided my worldview into before and after the way the moon landing did for an earlier generation. The post also says that AI has no need for humour which is false. Predicting and detecting when outcome doesn't match predictions has immense value in directing where to look to learn. But that's just funny strange, not funny haha. Ok, so then we have something that doesn't match predictions but does match something unexpected, now that's funny--and useful to AI.
