In 5 years: Computer, make a WWDITS Disney-Pixar style cartoon series with full-length episodes!
In 15 years: it'll actually be funny
I dunno. Expecting a computer to understand current comedy enough to make genuinely funny jokes, let alone entire episodes, is a huge ask. I don’t think that’ll happen in 15 years.
Claude.AI:
Here's a humorous scene about people discussing the potential for funny AI:
INT - OFFICE - DAY
Two coworkers, JEN and DAVID, are chatting by the water cooler.
JEN Did you hear they're trying to create AI with a sense of humor?
DAVID Seriously? A funny robot comedian?
JEN Yeah, some tech company claims they've programmed it to understand jokes and tell its own.
DAVID That seems...ambitious. I can't imagine a robot actually being funny.
JEN I know, humor is such a human thing. But maybe with machine learning and big data it could work.
DAVID I feel like the first shows would be pretty rough. Knock-knock jokes and bad puns.
JEN "Why did the robot cross the road? To get to the other side!" You're right, it would be terrible!
They both laugh.
JEN Well, maybe someday artificial intelligence will get there. But for now, just leave the jokes to the humans.
DAVID Yeah, robots should stick to calculus - leave the comedy to professionals like us!
They laugh again and fist bump as the scene ends.
Ok, this is a bit worse than I thought. Curious to see what GPT4 would do.
Throw a few canned laughs in there and it'd be on-par with half the crap they churn out today honestly. Most sitcom humor is character A snarking character B, pause with ugly looks at each other while the laughs play. Rinse and repeat.
