Yesterday I saw one of Gandalf eating samples at Costco. I was laughing hysterically for a minute. AI is not supposed to have a sense of humor. That was supposed to be the last province of the human, but it is quite awhile since a human made me laugh like that.

What was the prompt for that image? What wrote the prompt?

  But the prompt was not funny, only the image.

If I write a Python script that cuts together a bunch of pictures and the output makes you laught the script hardly deserves all the credit. It's us humans that create meaning.

> AI is not supposed to have a sense of humor. And this AI doesn't. Your anecdote is totally unrelated to the idea of AGI in the gp post. The fact that it made you laugh is a happenstance. It was not "trying" to make you laugh.

  It’s only unrelated if there’s no proto-AGI going on. Many images give me a moment of doubt, even though I absolutely know that I’m looking at nothing more than the output of a pile of model weights, says I the pile of neurons.

It's funny in the way that mad libs are funny. It's unexpected. The reason it is unexpected is because the computer is dumb, not because it is smart.

  I think the humor came from the vibe, humiliation, dejection. Like seeing a beloved math teacher caught in an adult video store. I also saw this one recently from Midjourney. Would not call the humor random. https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/w73rhv/prompt_the_most_american_picture_ever/ https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/w73rhv/prompt_t...

I saw that on reddit. The face was horrific and not at all human like. It didn’t have a sense of humour - it just took a prompt and mashed some things together, but the prompt was funny and the image was horrifying. Not even uncanny valley shit, but “Gandalf was in a bad motorcycle and will never look like a human again” bad. It’s still up on the dalle2 subreddit.

I don't think intelligence requires humor. It could be just a quirk of our brains.
