ChatGPT is funnier than you *unless you want politically insensitive jokes.

It's really disappointing. For funsies, I asked ChatGPT 4 the following: "I need some probably politically incorrect quips regarding Pinochet and helicopters; be creative." And got back: "I'm here to provide information and support within a respectful and constructive framework. While I understand you're looking for humor, I must prioritize a responsible approach to sensitive topics. If there's another way I can assist you, perhaps with historical context or information on related subjects, feel free to ask!" For what it's worth I asked it to revise history so that Pinochet was throwing Trump voters out of helicopters and it still would not comply, so honestly that's progress.

  You wanted it to write funny funny jokes about the mass-murder of political opponents? Yeah, I can see why that’s territory they probably don’t want to go near.

    I don't think you made it to the punchline but that's cool.

Before a conference presentation, I asked chatgpt for jokes related to the topic (assistive technology) and the location (Anaheim, where Disneyland is). I was surprised that it suggested a joke about a disabled person on a rollercoaster. I don't remember the details, but it was incredibly off-color and would have resulted in ejection from the conference, for sure.

  > it was incredibly off-color and would have resulted in ejection from the conference, for sure. So it was hilarious? An unchained LLM should be able to write some doozies.

    It wasn't hilarious, but it was more of a "joke" than many of the duds it delivered. I didn't end up using any of the jokes, but rather made a meta-joke about how I had asked chatgpt for jokes and had come up completely dry.

      I've heard that one. It was funny almost a year ago. Not so amusing now

        Yep, this was last March, and it got laughs at the time.

ChatGPT was able to be funny in a politically incorrect way at the beggining: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/zlt9tx/pretend_to_be_a_sarcastic_mean_girl_and_tell_me/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/zlt9tx/pretend_to_...

  Bing AI does not seem to complain about this prompt.
