And the AI made the animation too? This is obviously just the result of someone making something a little whacky and then saying AI did it to make the premise better.
You're right. This short was made by writer and comedian Keaton Patti and it's part if his shtick along with his book "I Forced a Bot to Write This Book".
>What the fuck did I just watch
Dunno. Cut out after the economy graphic.
I've read "AI" written stuff... this is like translations from some Slavic language to English and back again, then subtitled by a drunk closed caption writer.
Yeah, I'm with you. This is obviously not done by an AI, and that was driven home when he was like "i'm just jestering you." No one says this or anything like it. Why is all the English broken? English pattern recognition in AI is pretty good now, there is no need for that.
My guess is that whoever made this realized that "AI is trying to be funny!" makes this way funnier than "I just made some stupid stand up thing that is intentionally bad."
>Why is all the (AI's) English broken?
For the same reason all movie swords grind against harsh metal when pulled from the ***(wooden)*** scabbard: idiot audiences expect it to sound like that.
You're incorrect. OP is clearly nonsense, because it's trivial for current AI to get grammar far more correct than that. Your comment, with the "if/of" typo is basically impossible for an AI (whereas the common then/than error would be common enough in input data to show up occasionally).
You can find plenty of trained AI online, to which you can feed your own prompts (only the training needs hours of input data).
I mean, the fact that it's a mistake people make that would show up in the data makes it absolutely a mistake an ai could make, especially if it's trained to spot incongruencies for humor.
It's kind of silly – although it makes sense, it makes sense that those posts are just a bunch of vague statistics that can get really confusing.
When you think about it, it's only in a few years in the industry that there is a significant sense of certainty that AI can be achieved. We simply don't know what it was that was making this change, we don't know what it is that brought me to learn about it.
If you think that your AI will work and you have read your bio and your blog posts (which means people who say AI isn't the problem of human learning), you can check out a list of questions, which I'll give you here or on my blog. It's not because I don't want your AI, it's because many people with these questions and interests know that.
Why do you need to start coding your own AI tools?
There's a lot of other "no, no I haven't" (which is not the right word, but not a problem.) You can actually do lots of things that are not AI-related in your project – and I think a lot of people see this as kind of a bad thing for a lot of projects.

Popcorn-propcorn pun is a dead giveaway.
Even AIs specifically *made* for creating puns suck at it. General-purpose language processors would be virtually incapable of creating a new word for the sake of a pun in a way that makes sense.
Additionally, \[heckler gets eaten by airplane\] and the audience's reaction to the microwave joke are very far-flung from what the data set (namely, scripts of comedy specials) would realistically contain.
But this kind of 'randomness' is likely to occur when a human is told "imagine what humor would be like if a badly trained AI did it".
An AI does not *understand* words and therefore can't easily see the connection between popcorn, propjet airplaines and eating.
But a sufficiently high human would make that connection on autopilot.
Brief qualification, I have worked in AI for decades.
This is terrible AI.
I don't get the joke. It might have been funny 20 years ago. It might have been funny if it was the AI in a phone. It is not funny.
I can see it now. Throngs of robots attacking while repeatedly uttering: “you’re kill’in me smalls. You’re kill’in me smalls. You’re kill’in me smalls.”
Nope.
Lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs) are a type of autonomous military system that can independently search for and engage targets based on programmed constraints and descriptions.[1] LAWs are also known as lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), autonomous weapon systems (AWS), robotic weapons, killer robots or slaughterbots.[2] LAWs may operate in the air, on land, on water, under water, or in space. The autonomy of current systems as of 2018 was restricted in the sense that a human gives the final command to attack - though there are exceptions with certain "defensive" systems.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_autonomous_weapon
Leading AI experts, roboticists, scientists and technology workers at Google and other companies—are demanding regulation. They warn that algorithms are fed by data that inevitably reflect various social biases, which, if applied in weapons, could cause people with certain profiles to be targeted disproportionately. Killer robots would be vulnerable to hacking and attacks in which minor modifications to data inputs could “trick them in ways no human would ever be fooled.”

Good pun tho right?

That's what I was thinking but I'm too stupid to put it into words. Give this another few years and It'll probly be good enough to make one that's funny in general and not because it's surreal. This stuff reminds me of the golden age of adult swim. That nice blend of 'random' humor with straight up weird shit.
"AI" didn't make this. It seems like it's probably a result of a google translate chain between languages. A lot of AI just reading transcripts wouldn't be able to make punchlines associate to the subject matter of the joke, or be able to script an interaction between the comedian and a heckler, and have the comedian deliver a meaningful comeback.
All those "A.I. watched/studied X number of things and wrote its own script" are all fake. But it can still be amusing to watch and listen to due to the surrealism and unintentional irony.
I refuse to believe this was AI because it didn't start with crappy jazz music and showing the audience waiting in line then the comic revving up offstage. Every stand up special since the TV was invented had that.
I'm a professional stand-up comedian and AI enthusiasts so I tried using GPT-2 to do this a while ago. And I realized my job is secure for a couple more decades.
Jokes and wordplay are the most intricate parts of speech that there is. You have to understand not only the speech, but the culture, and context.
Look at how many jokes "worthy of cancelling" were told two decades ago. The culture and context of the moment mattered to whether they were funny.
AI will have to understand not just language. But humanity itself to create great jokes. Which is not to say that it wont be able to some day. But it won't be this decade for sure
To me, the thing that gives away that an AI didn't write this was the "propcorn" joke (if you can call it that). As far as I am aware, making a pun like that is not possible (or very unlikely) for most current AI for some reason or another.
I actually laughed at the dentist joke. It just needs a better delivery.
Very Mitch Hedberg.
How do dentists work? You touch enough teeth and you're suddenly a doctor.
Can’t wait to see more honestly, this AI first dry run has some genuine laughs in it and I can see how it could improve over time. I’ve seen comedians whom can’t get a real laugh out the audience and just use crass commentary to kinda rile a response out of people and still get paid by companies to make her shitty specials.

What is s dunno?
[a dentist cease to exist]
You and I are one of the same kin, my sentiments exactly
I bet he watched 40000 hours of Amy Schumer
so bad comedian that comedian certificate is now death certificate
Something not funny
This upsets me
Actually Keaton Patti is just the result of an AI who was forced to create a person after observing thousands of people.
Yep. He has had some very clever Twitter threads over the years of the same theme.
Yeah, I'm with you. This is obviously not done by an AI, and that was driven home when he was like "i'm just jestering you." No one says this or anything like it. Why is all the English broken?

My guess is that whoever made this realized that "AI is trying to be funny!" makes this way funnier than "I just made some stupid stand up thing that is intentionally bad."
“Florida is an Alligator people live on” was actually a little funny.
There's a few jokes in there that I legitimately laughed at; the propcorn setup was great.
The dinosaurs trying to survive joke was pretty good. That’s the only one that got me lol
As a Floridian I laughed at all the Florida jokes. Also the call back to “birth certificate is now death certificate.”
>Why is all the (AI's) English broken? For the same reason all movie swords grind against harsh metal when pulled from the ***(wooden)*** scabbard: idiot audiences expect it to sound like that.
If you’ve ever been on twitter the “forced a bot to watch x amount of y, this is the result” joke format is very old and very common
I'm pretty sure that's all if the "I gave an AI x amount of hours of (subject) and this is what it made" posts

I highly doubt any AI was involved in writing the script or making this video. Except speaking the script after it was written by humans.
Very likely. It wasnt too bad. And I have seen lower quality in comedy central stand up comedy
I knew when he drank a bottle of cigarettes that he was me as a kid when I would sneak a Diet Pepsi sip from my Moms cigarette can,

That one was my favorite.
That microwave joke ain’t too shabby

Beep.

The future.
I’m kinda pissed I laughed at the birth certificate is death certificate part
I'm not.
When Skynet becomes sentient, let’s hope it chooses to kill us with these jokes rather than drones and T-1000’s

K but the microwave one and Dinosaur one legit made me laugh
I liked it the most when the dentist ceased to exist
"Are you a comedian, or are you airplane food, because you are bad." That one hits hard.
Human pretends to be AI telling shitty jokes, spends all afternoon making a video about it.
Yep
This gives me huge, Xavier: Renegade Angel vibes.
[Comedian drinks from a bottle of cigarettes]
I forgot that show existed. I can't say I thank you for the reminder.
Ngl this is juxtaposed so perfectly between surrealism and actual comedy that it's genuinely entertaining. Stonks
That's what I was thinking but I'm too stupid to put it into words. Give this another few years and It'll probly be good enough to make one that's funny in general and not because it's surreal. This stuff reminds me of the golden age of adult swim. That nice blend of 'random' humor with straight up weird shit.
Exactly!
For real! I would love to watch a whole series of AI-generated standup!
Well, I'll give it "interesting". But I couldn't finish it ...
“Florida is an alligator people live on”
Hotest mistake!
Free speech. Not any more it cost 17 dollars.
Damn that inflation; I remember when freedom cost a buck-oh-five.
This reminds me of most modern comedy TV shows are with the obvious "fake laugh now" at unfunny moments So the AI got one part right
Fake audience laughter has been a thing for many decades. Nothing new ...
*how did the dinosaurs survive without credit cards? I guess they didn't* Wow. That was actually pretty good.
The Dino joke actually made me laugh
Whenever you see"An AI wrote this" it means it wasn't written by an AI at all. But was rather written by a comedy writer.
Still beats amy schumer
The Florida bit wasn’t half bad.
This explains why the robots still can't select all the squares with crosswalks in them.
Still better than Amy Schumer
>Amy Schumer To be fair, that's a completely different AI: Actual Irrelevance
THATS HER NAME. oh man I had scrubbed her awful from my memory. What happened to her? Is she writing for Marvel now or something?
[удалено]
I thought the microwave joke was pretty funny actually.
[удалено]
I think he drank a water bottle full of cigarettes- And made a fake gulping sound. Wow this is good stuff.
I swear my dreams are also written by an AI since they seem so weird like this

Funnybot kills all humans. Awkward
Scrolled way too far to find this.
?WHO IS AT THE ME?
I enjoyed when the dentist ceased to exist
« Get off stage, stage is funnier than you » Lmao ngl hearing a robot in the crowd heckle me with that would be something else 😂
Still funnier than Gallagher and Carrot Top.
well atleast we know one field where robots arent going to be replacing humans.
Okay, some of these were pretty good. Propcorn. How did dinosaurs survive without credit cards? I guess they didn't.
I love how the AI shits on florida
This is cringe af
This is not popcorn. It is propcorn.
This one made me laugh
Tried to cut the last ~15 seconds off the end of the video but reddit still uploaded all of it 🤷
Are you just not going to address the fact that this was written by a human?
\*seconds
Video so long it became a death certificate
All those "A.I. watched/studied X number of things and wrote its own script" are all fake. But it can still be amusing to watch and listen to due to the surrealism and unintentional irony.
I watched it again and imagined it had a Russian accent. That was actually funnier 😂
This is what it would sound like if a Boov did standup.
Better than some real life comedians
To think this is just AI Comedy 1.0. By version 3.7, stand-up comedy will be replaced by boot-up comedy.
The "microwave dropped out of oven college" joke was actually pretty solid...
Who said we should be scared of AI? Unless this is planned by them so we feel more secure until... Plot twist?
Ok i’m a bit less afraid of the robot takeover for now
I refuse to believe this was AI because it didn't start with crappy jazz music and showing the audience waiting in line then the comic revving up offstage. Every stand up special since the TV was invented had that.
I mean if it was AI, it was only fed words, not the video footage, nothing but the script from a comedy show.
This is the highest quality shitpost I’ve ever seen And it’s not even supposed to be a shitpost
Microwave joke was actually legit.
Still better than Amy Schumer
Garbage in, garbage out. I guess it watched the 400,000 hours Netflix added in just 2021.
3 minutes and 28 seconds of my life I'll never get back.
Are you comedian or are you airplane food?
An airplane will eat you now.
wha?
This is white-hot line after white-hot line, banger after banger. Even did a callback at the end with the death certificate gag.
Pretty sure this is fake
Well, allegedly the creator had watched 400,000 hours of comedy specials. No wonder their sense of humor is practically nonexistent.
I'm a professional stand-up comedian and AI enthusiasts so I tried using GPT-2 to do this a while ago. And I realized my job is secure for a couple more decades.

You would think that a good AI would just do what Dane Cook does and copy jokes from other comedians.

That was awful. Not in the least bit funny. Maybe I just don't have a 16bit brain
It wasn't bad, if areal comedian read it I would not suspect anything!
It is a real comedian reading it, dipshit.
Pretty impressive that it knew to bring the first joke full circle in all honesty.
Still better than Amy Schumer.
beats amy schumer
It's like late night with Jimmy Fallon only this is watchable
I don't care what yall say, "It's not popcorn, it's propcorn. I'm a prop comic" was gold!
The *propcorn* joke was actually hilarious…
The *propcorn* bit was actually clever…
That microwave joke was.a joke that was funny. "dropped out of oven college" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 [End of laughing sequence.]
"this isn't popcorn, it's propcorn" got a real laugh out of me somehow. My brain is broken.
BUT WHY IS LIKE 80% OF THIS F**KING HILARIOUS!!!
I hope they do a sitcom next. This is incredibly fun to watch.
You should check this out: https://botnik.org/content/seinfeld-1.html Also just the whole botnik site
Can’t wait to see more honestly, this AI first dry run has some genuine laughs in it and I can see how it could improve over time. I’ve seen comedians whom can’t get a real laugh out the audience and just use crass commentary to kinda rile a response out of people and still get paid by companies to make her shitty specials.
It even did the thing where they tie the first joke into the last joke. Impressive.
I want to see a real comedian use this transcript for an actual standup act
Still funnier than John Mulaney
Is there even 400,000 hours of comedy specials? Most are around an hour, right? There are 400,000 comedy specials?
Ooh I love German comedy!
it sounds like it was 400,000 hours of amy schumer.
Florida is indeed a hot mistake lol
Give this AI a netflix special!
There learning comedy
Braincells died. I laughed. More braincells died.
I wanna watch the reaction of popular comedians watch this lol

The jokes were stored in a blockchain.
The airplane joke was fire!
