This reminds me of a very curious feature of GPT-3. Whenever you ask it for a joke, no matter the way you set up the prompt, and so long as it has free reign to tell the joke, it will almost always give the chicken crossing the road joke.
But that's not all. If you pressure it into giving another joke, then it will give this anti-joke that appeared exactly once on Yahoo Answers many years ago. I don't remember the exact wording, but it's something like "A man went into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender said, 'You're out of luck. We've been closed for fifteen minutes.'" When you search on Google for the joke (when you have the exact wording) you'll find that the Internet has been poisoned by this Yahoo Answer. I like to think that this is the joke.
