Why ChatGPT Can’t Ever Really Be Funny
There’s a reason comedy is hard. It’s pretty easy to make people laugh. Even a robot can do that. AI can indeed produce hilarious “comedy” that seems to do everything a human stand-up does.

On the one hand, America is not now the country it was when Trump took his oath of office (which he…
