> Who says LLMs don't have a sense of humor? All of these entries are funny

You don’t need a sense of humour to be unintentionally funny. Seriously believing something absurd is a form of humour for outside observers but not the observed.





One entry would be unintentionally funny, I give you that. 5/ what, 30 entries? That's a pattern.

It’s as much of a pattern as throwing a D6 30 times and getting “1” 5 times. It’s not meaningful, there’s no provable intentionality behind it.

The ones that are funny aren’t even particularly so. Many of them are actually plausible HN submissions which we’re only interpreting as funny because we know they’re not real.


True! Why some of the greatest comedic performances are actors who play an absurd role straight-as.
