Jokes written by AI

With the presence of AI growing ever greater with every passing year, some people have claimed it may be only a matter of time before many people see their jobs replaced by AI.

One question I personally couldn't help wondering was, 'Will AI ever replace the jobs of stand up comedians?' To test it out, I asked AI to write a number of jokes on a variety of subjects. For each joke, I gave AI a prompt based on the theme from one of my previous blog posts.

A liar takes questions from other liars.

Have a read of the results and then decide for yourself whether stand up comedians have anything to worry about from AI.

1) Joke prompt: Liars

Why do liars always seem to be good at math?
Because they can always make the truth add up to whatever they want!

Not a bad start. Admittedly, I'm not rolling on the floor with laughter, but at least it makes sense.

Top tips (part 5)

A wise man once gave me the following top tip:

It's okay. He's only yawning!

"There are two secrets to success in life:

1) Don't tell others everything you know."

. . . . . . . . . .

This week on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog I'm going to follow that wise man's advice by passing on only some of the silly top tips I've come across...

1) Always give a thumbs up while yawning so deaf people know you're not screaming.

2) When being chased by a pack of taxidermists, don't play dead!

Funny football quotes (part 15)

A new season of the Premier League gets under way this weekend, and it's become something of a tradition on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog to mark the occasion with another collection of funny football quotes.

"The perfect penalty."

1) "That was the perfect penalty, apart from he missed it."
…Rob McCaffrey



2) "Ireland will give 99% … everything they've got!"
…Mark Lawrenson



3) "And Ritchie has now scored 11 goals, exactly double the number he scored last season."
…Alan Parry

Ritchie improves on the five and a half goals he scored last season.

Lazy or genius?

I heard there was a National Lazy Day sometime soon, but I was too lazy to look up when it was exactly.

Anyway, National Lazy Day falls somewhere around about this time of year, so this week's blog post is based on the popular internet theme of 'lazy or genius'.

1) Lazy or genius jigsaw puzzle

Completing jigsaw puzzles can be a satisfying way to pass the time, and I'm sure whoever did this jigsaw puzzle was extremely satisfied to see the finished results of their efforts.

I particularly thought the white stripe for the horse's nose was a nice touch!
