How would you write artificial intelligence software that could write an original and funny joke?
To begin with, there is a Quora topic on Computational Humor. Most attempts at joke generation to date have been based on Markov scramblers. Off the top of my head, I can’t recall any joke generators based on machine learning, or even deep learning. One of the big problems with humor, as with AI in general, is that we don’t really know what natural humor is, so can’t properly create artificial humor.
See my Quora answers to:
- Is there a market for chatbots with a ‘sense of humor’?
- Till date, has any AI (artificial intelligence) been able to create jokes?
- What research is there on artificial intelligence and humor?
- What’s the most hilarious thing Siri has said?
