I would like to see a humor test. So far, I have not seen any model response that has made me laugh.

The "roast" tools that have popped up (using either DeepSeek or o3-mini) are pretty funny. Eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43163654 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43163654

  OK now that is some funny shit.

My benchmark for this has been asking the model to write some tweets in the style of dril, a popular user who writes short funny tweets. Sometimes I include a few example tweets in the prompt too. Here's an example of results I got from Claude 3 Opus and GPT 4 for this last year: https://bsky.app/profile/macil.tech/post/3kpcvicmirs2v https://bsky.app/profile/macil.tech/post/3kpcvicmirs2v. My opinion is that Claude's results were mostly bangers while GPT's were all a bit groanworthy. I need to try this again with the latest models sometime.

How does the following stand-up routine by Claude 3.7 Sonnet work for you? https://gally.net/temp/20250225claudestandup2.html https://gally.net/temp/20250225claudestandup2.html

  Reading this felt like reading junk food EDIT: Junk food tastes kinda good though. This felt like drinking straight cooking oil. Tastes bad and bad for you.

  I chuckled. Now you just need a Pro subscription to get Sora generate a video to go along with this and post it to YouTube and rake in the views (and the money that goes along with it).

  reddit tier humor, truly it's just regurgitating overly emphasized cliches in a disgustingly enthusiastic tone

    Is that any different from the bulk of standup today?
- sebastiennight 2y ago
  That was impressive. If it all came from just this short 4-line prompt, it's even more impressive. All we're missing now is a text-to-video (or text+audio and then audio-to-video) that can convincingly follow the style instructions for emphasis and pausing. Or are we already there yet?
  - tkgally 2y ago
    Yes, that was the full prompt. Yesterday, I had Claude 3.7 write a full 80,000-word novel. My prompt was a bit longer, but the result was shockingly good. The new thinking mode is very impressive.

      I had been sleeping on Claude's ability to write books until a couple of days ago I had it write a novel set in the Accelerando universe. It whipped up a very convincing complete multi-Act 13 chapter side plot about humans learning to interact with Economics 2.0. It was quite good though I'm sure cstross would be horrified.

  Okay, you know what? I laughed a few times. Yeah it may not work as an actual stand up routine to a general audience, it’s kinda cringe (as most LLM-generated content), but it was legitimately entertaining to read.

  "Tip your server" was a pretty great pun!

If you like absurdist humor, go into the OpenAI playground, select 3.5-Turbo, and dial up the temperature to the point where the output devolves into garbled text after 500 tokens or so. The first ~200 tokens are in the freaking sweet spot of humor.

  Could someone post an example?

  Maybe it's rose-colored glasses, but 3.5 was really the golden era for LLM comedy. More modern LLMs can't touch it. Just ask it to write you a film screenplay involving some hard-ass 80s/90s action star and someone totally unrelated and opposite of that. The ensuring unhinged magic is unparalleled.
  - jcims 2y ago
    I built a little AI assistant to read my calendar and send me a summary of my day every morning. I told it to roast me and be funny with it. 3.5 was *way* better than anything else at that.
    - rl3 2y ago
      Yeah, I think the fact its "mind" so to speak was more fragmented and unpredictable was almost a boon for that purpose.
    - sebastiennight 2y ago
      Ah, I'd love to have that kind of daily recap... mind sharing some of the code (or even just the prompt?)

ChatGPT gave me this shell script: https://social.immibis.com/media/7102ac83cf4a200e48dd368938ed8b441f9132cec504c333b93cb5f519582bd5.sh https://social.immibis.com/media/7102ac83cf4a200e48dd368938e... (obviously, don't download and execute a random shell script from the internet without reading it first) I think reading it will make you laugh.
