Or just accept it as another form of humor and laugh at it if you find it funny.
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!gemini-2.5-pro
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 shortdeepseek-r1-0528
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! 😄None of those are funny.
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.
How many fingers does that woman have
If we could somehow filter out all the AI shit I would still want it filtered out. Even if it was “verifiably” better than humans.
Automated art is extremely depressing. Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.
Would you mind elaborating on that statement? Consider my using a meme generator to plaster some text over a stock image. I express myself regularly by this means. How does this compare to using an image generator to produce the meme? Why does the latter “invalidate human expression”?
Everything that is generated by AI is something old.
It’s regurgitated from existing data.
No matter how well its obfuscated that remains true.
If image generation replaces human artists then the new/creative element eventually fades from art in its totality. Eventually all humanity and creativity is gone and we’re left with AI’s platonic reality for art.
It’s like the dead internet theory but for art, eventually the automated slop will blot out anything human, and humans will make less art as a result.
Photography didn’t replace painted art.
Digital art didn’t replace traditional art.
3d art didn’t replace hand drawn art.
Why is AI going to replace anything?
I think that idea is based on a proposition “AI generated images will replace all other type of images” which is not true.
It’s just another tool that will be used among others, some people will use it, some people won’t, some people will use as a mixed media utility.
The existence of one thing doesn’t invalidate or harm the existence of another. As in many aspects of life most things can coexist together.
I visit some image boards which are media neutral, this meaning they don’t discriminate by media. Most art there used to be digital painted or 3d, and now there is AI art but it hasn’t replaced anything. Digital and 3d art are posted at the same rate, now there is just more art in the form of AI generated art. It didn’t replace the other artists, it just added to them. Now there’s more content for people to enjoy, everyone wins.
AI is replacing every form of art you just described
Not it’s not. All the artists I follow keep doing art as usual.
Same as I said other user. If that’s your concern, live by it. If in X number or years other forms of art keep existing and AI have not taken over everything promise yourself that you will change your mind and admit that your were wrong. Think about the people that told you that was going to happen and stop trusting them.
I have promised myself that if in 5-10 hears AI have taken over art and all traditional art is dead and all art is bad I would do the same.
Because learning from our mistakes is the only way to move forward.
Here you are making a big assumption “AI will take over”. Just promise yourself that that assumption being correct or incorrect will have moral consequences for your future self.
I say this because I’m very certain that that prediction will not occur. But sadly people who made that prediction and bullied all over the place anyone liking AI will keep being the same once proven wrong.
Tell me. In which year I will be unable to read a book written by a person, read a comic made with digital painting, look at a oil handmade painting or look at a composite photography?
AI is significantly different from the other things you mention. With the others a human is still involved, and in fact indispensible, in the process of creating art.
Not so with AI (except of course for all the human art illegally used to train it). It is also capable of pumping out its creations at a speed no human can match. You search for examples in history of similar things happening, but the fact of the matter is that nothing in human history is equivalent to this. So using history as some sort of guiding light is quite the fool’s errand. We can only judge by what is happening, and the reasons for those things happening, and extrapolate from there.
And judging from those facts then it does become obvious that automated content will very soon drown out all human made creativity, just from the sheer volume of automated content being created at exponentially larger rates.
Human input is still needed. As far as I know there’s not a skynet level AI doing things by itself.
Human interaction is indispensable in AI creation. And it can be far more involved that other forms of art. A person can take more time and effort producing an AI image than in making something quickly in Photoshop/Gimp.
Speed argument is invalidated by photography which can produce images faster than AI so… A photography can be taken in fractions of a second, AI usually takes more time. The difference on time between a oil portrait and a photography is far greater than whatever we have now with AI, and people still have hand made portraits. I have one of myself.
Anyway, I suppose you are subduing your opinion to that prediction. Then I just hope that if the prediction proves false, and if in the future AI have not destroyed other forms of art then your opinion will change and you will recognize you were wrong. I obviously accept the same proposal if in the future AI art have destroyed other forms of art then I’ll had to admit I was wrong.
It’s crazy to watch the insane level of outrage that the existence and growth of AI produced content stirs up in some people when it seems obvious that the development of AI is unstoppable. It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared. I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years as they realise that being angry on the internet isn’t going to slow anything down at all.
It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared.
It is nothing of the sort. Steam engines served mostly useful purposes. AI mostly does not (at least not in an open world environment, it has excellent purposes in closed environments like medicine and science). The fact that it is indeed unstoppable does not make the outrage of its infestation of everything on the internet less, quite contrary.
I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years
I guess someone with their head in the sand, their fingers in their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs like you, will have an excellent mental health.
Everyone loved steam engines huh? Do you even history? - Chugging Through Fears & Terror: The Steam Train Phobia of the 19th Century 🚂💨
Despite their size, steam engines do not typically disrupt my workflow.
Sure, but I expect they disrupted the workflow of folks in 1804…
I worry about the mental health of people that attempt to protect an overinflated technology and attack the mental fortitude of people who bring real problems up with the technology. this is especially true since those same white knights are literally being institutionalized for psychosis and are actively creating cults around specific models.
it’s absurd that people lacking the mental capacity to understand “a machine is not alive” have a seat at the table to discus the dangers presented by AI.
just want to point out that no technology in recorded history is “unstoppable”, though it seems like that was said more to convince yourself than us.
Neither I, nor anyone, can “protect” it or slow it down. You either find a way to work with what’s happening or spiral into greater and greater impotent rage. Better accept this now than slowly go mad no?
It’s amazing to watch people like you not get the point at all. It’s like you’re missing some piece of yourself and cannot understand why people appreciate the humanity behind art. And to act like we should just lie down and take it?
I’m sorry for whatever the fuck happened to you.
Dammit you’re right. Well, I guess that fixes everything.
Maybe if it wasn’t proliferating into every app and service whether useful or not I wouldn’t hate the living crap out of it. AI has it’s place, I do use it both at work and at home but I don’t need it every where.
Also one of the first victims was customer service pages, and most of them are crap.
It’s a paradigm shift and people always behave in unpredictable ways when those come around. It’ll settle down eventually into just being a part of normal life.
