Thanks, I had that humor idea rolling around in my mind since the early 90's strong AI era but had forgotten where I read it. Minsky sounds about right. Humor

Thanks, I had that humor idea rolling around in my mind since the early 90's strong AI era but had forgotten where I read it. Minsky sounds about right. Humor is a forced reset of a failed prediction model, reality does not conform to prediction, shake up that snowglobe of a mind and let reality rewrite prediction. Strengthening bad predictions isn't a good idea for survival.
