Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares an AI-generated response about the average speed of a cannonball, highlighting its humorous ambiguity.
  • Another mentions that ChatGPT can produce good jokes, suggesting a positive experience with AI humor.
  • Some participants express that AI occasionally produces laughable results, with a noted improvement in the latest version, ChatGPT4.
  • Concerns are raised about AI's reliability, with one participant noting that AI's humor is often unintentional and reflects its limitations.
  • There is a discussion about the nature of language and context, with one participant arguing that AI may struggle to produce context-sensitive meanings that go beyond simple definitions.
  • Another participant recounts a humorous interaction with a Mistral AI model that used vulgar language while explaining artificial intelligence, indicating that humor can arise from unexpected contexts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that AI can produce humorous content, but there is no consensus on the reliability of AI in generating meaningful or contextually rich responses. Multiple competing views on AI's capabilities and limitations are present.

Contextual Notes

Some discussions touch on the limitations of AI in understanding context and producing nuanced language, but these points remain unresolved and depend on individual interpretations of AI's capabilities.

I'm checkin out momentum at the moment so I asked Google AI the question, What is the average speed of a cannonball?

This was the answer;

The average speed of a cannonball depends on whether you're referring to the speed of a cannonball fired from a cannon or the average speed of a car in the Cannonball Run.

Thanks. Do you mean this is where this thread should be?
Not sure I know what you mean. I think this thread about AI is fine as it is. I just answered with an AI quotation I read elsewhere, but it surely made me laugh. The AI wasn't intentionally funny but turned out to be involuntarily funny. And it shows its lack of reliability at the current state.

I think that AI cannot evolve beyond Boolean algebra and data mining. Language, however, is usually context-sensitive. A collection of words has a meaning that carries more information than the collection of their definitions. E.g: "NP = P or not is actually the question of whether there exist intrinsically difficult problems or whether we just weren't able to find them, yet." is a sentence an AI probably won't produce. It has a meaning carried by the word "we" that goes beyond its definition.

We'll see.

Ah, I just thought you meant the thread was a random thought and should be with the other random thoughts :)
I'm often putting stuff in the wrong place and being politely redirected :)

Yeah, AI has made me chuckle. I managed to get a Mistral AI model that ran on my laptop to explain what artificial intelligence is, while using vulgar language (f word, etc). It did a good job.
