Gemini 3 definitely is able to mimick some of our sense of humor.
replyI found this quite funny too: https://www.reddit.com/r/GeminiAI/comments/1pi28l7/i_asked_g...
Arguably a big part of comedy is mimicry. Humor often works by reinforcing in-group identity, playing up cultural stereotypes as seen here. So maybe we shouldn't be that surprised that LLMs can exhibit some genuine wittiness.
reply> Who says LLMs don't have a sense of humor? All of these entries are funny
replyYou 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.
replyIt’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.
replyThe 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.
replyYeah I was thinking some of this might be "AI model in-jokes" that maybe I don't get, while other layes are funny to me.
