One of my friends studied humor for a bit during his PhD, and my goodness is it difficult to get the average person to be funny with just “hey, tell me a joke” type prompts. Even when you hold their hand, and give them lots of potentially humorous pieces to work with (a-la cards against humanity), they really struggle. So, I’m honestly reasonably impressed with GPT-4′s ability to occasionally tell a funny joke.
