    Are we seeing AI generated jokes now? Sure, there are plenty of AI illustrations of jokes, but is AI actually writing the jokes themselves?

      Why did the finger-counting contest end in a tie?
      Because everyone could only count on themselves!

      Why did the mathematician lose the finger-counting contest?
      Because he kept trying to carry the one!

      I was judging a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
      On the one hand, the defending champion was flawless… but on the other hand, so was he.

      Why did the T-Rex get disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
      Because he kept coming up short

      Here’s one for you:
      Why was Yubaba (from Spirited Away) disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
      Because she kept adding ten more fingers halfway through!
      (For context: Yubaba is a witch who magically grows extra hands with 10 fingers each when counting money. She’d definitely have an unfair advantage! 😄)

      Here’s a fresh one for you:
      Why did the concert pianist lose the finger-counting contest?
      Because they kept insisting that a “perfect 10” should involve scales!
      (Alternatively, playing on the unexpected twist…)
      Why did the robot win the finger-counting contest?
      Because it kept saying, “This is too easy—I’m counting in binary!”
      Hope that gives you a chuckle! 😄

      I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:

      Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest? Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋

      So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.

        I asked deepseek that question and it replied:

        The computer got kicked out of the finger-counting contest because it started counting from zero!

          much better. still not funny because the joke itself is ass but this punchline at least makes sense for the premise.
