Understanding humor may be one of the last things that separates humans from ever smarter machines, computer scientists and linguists say. Alexa and Siri can tell jokes mined from a humor database, but they just don’t get them.
And when it comes to humor, the people who study it — sometimes until all laughs are beaten out of it — say context is key. Even expert linguists have trouble explaining humor, said Tristan Miller, a computer scientist and linguist at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany. “I like to believe that there is something very innately human about what makes something funny,” Bishop said.
“They get them — sort of,” Rayz said. “Even if we look at puns, most of the puns require huge amounts of background.”Rayz has spent 15 years trying to get computers to understand humor, and at times the results were, well, laughable. She recalled a time she gave the computer two different groups of sentences. Some were jokes. Some were not. The computer classified something as a joke that people thought wasn’t a joke.
“We know that humor — at least good humor — relies on nuance and on timing,” Slonim said. “And these are very hard to decipher by an automatic system.”
SeoGemma No question, there's a algorithm to a funny joke. The right dataset just hasn't been created yet.
I would like to read not funny AI jokes. Where to find them? Pls make a twitter account for this.
“Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny.” 🤖 Awkward
Machines could possibly understand humor, it's just that the people who program them don't have a sense of humor.
IBMResearch 👍
Maybe humans are too stupid to teach machines 🤔
elonmusk warns of the dangers of AI isn’t it a little concerning when certain machines speak about destroying humans...
By the way the scientists that conducted this test just don’t understand humor either
You can’t see my other hand but I am unplugging him right now
Humans laughing at robots is what caused Skynet.
hey Miles_Brundage
Now you understand what you have in the white house 😉
IBMResearch Humor is much more algorithmic than people think. That's why Witscript (patent pending) is the first artificial intelligence to ad-lib real, contextually relevant jokes.
Maybe the people teaching AI jokes are not funny either 😋
Remember, R2D2 wasn’t allowed to walk into a bar. They didn’t serve his kind.
IBMResearch On the other hand, predjudice as a system recognizing higher returns with less cognative effort within a grouping? Just like forming human brains adapt to the best social survival schemas and form cognative bias based beliefs? DNA or bytes, it's survival.
Same thing with insurance adjusters.
Probably some lame ass Leftist jokes that are lame as hell and aren't funny in the least bit....
borenbears IBM has created artificial intelligence that beat opponents in chess and “Jeopardy!” Its latest attempt, Project Debater , is more difficult because it is based on language and aims to win structured arguments with people, said principal investigator noamslonim
Ahhh so this is where Hannahgadsby came from...makes a lot more sense now
bezos dickpic hahah
May explain liberalism.
Isaac Asimov already prophesied so, many many years ago.
joerogan you’re safe for now
So every sci Fye tv show was correct lol
As they are Robotic it is hardly surprising is it? and who bloody cares anyway? There are enough sad people in Pubs believing they are hilarious.
Ex Machina Conway
So I guess in a way it works...
You ever heard linguistics and computer science jokes? Not funny
Anyone who ever watched Star Trek TNG already knew that.
Give 'em time.
Of course they don't get humour. They dont have it. It's a robot.
For more information on this subject, I recommend the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'The Outrageous Okona.'
Are we ready for a robot world AI technology
That's because machines don't understand it. They're machines, not human beings.
Great, the ability to slaughter us all, but can’t take a joke.
Neither do libs.
Looks like fun to me 🖥
It’s Tilda Swinton
by tomgauld
That's funny.
Like liberals?
Does that mean humor could become part of a Turing test?
They probably have problems with irony, too, I'd imagine.
There you go kids--go into comedy--all the good jobs will be taken by computers.
Y’all be weird af
Knock Knock. Who's there? I'm going to eliminate you. RETROTONES iPhone
Don’t get humour...Just like Liberals.
So you’re saying the truest definition of sentience is humor? The joke police ain’t gonna like that
