> I’ve heard people claim that comedy cannot be generated by an algorithm. If it wasn’t obvious, I disagree with this. I think comedy can be analyzed and measured. I think, given a large enough grant, we could probably generate comedy on demand. I think it’s doable - not that we should do it.
I use to think it came naturally, then someone had a book case full of books about humor. (wtf?) Apparently they have it down to a science.
I learn the difference between someone funny and a professional comedian is that the later finds additional punch lines for a joke. It then described a step by step process going from a silly remark to a birthday joke comparing various modular developments into a kind of dependency hell complete with race conditions until the state object is carefully defined and the plot has the punchlines all sorted from the barely funny to the truly hilarious. It was more engineering than CS.
The funniest seeBorg message was 10 minutes after a heated discussion that resulted in tanktop, a moderator, getting banned from a project. The bot wrote: Tanktop is Hitler! At that point it took 2 days for the humans to figure out what the next word was suppose to be.
