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

So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.
I asked deepseek that question and it replied:
much better. still not funny because the joke itself is ass but this punchline at least makes sense for the premise.
