Have you ever wondered what the life of a person who writes stand-up comedy is like? Now imagine that this person is a computer. Yes, ChatGPT, our artificial friend trying to be funny. And I say "trying" because sometimes talking to it feels like debating with a very stubborn parrot that knows more words than just "fucker." You start off: "Hey ChatGPT, write me something funny about my mother-in-law." And ChatGPT comes back with: "Sorry, but I cannot assist with content that might be considered offensive." Great, now the computer is giving me an ethics lesson. And the best part is, ChatGPT tries to stick to the topic like a kid with a lollipop. You ask for a joke about politicians, and it'd rather tell you a story about how Abraham Lincoln bought a pair of jeans online. "Thanks, ChatGPT, now I know why history doesn't always have to be boring. But could it be somewhat relevant?" But I must admit one thing: using ChatGPT to write stand-up has its perks. You don't have to worry about plagiarism lawsuits. Because who would have thought that the line "Sorry, I do not understand the question, but I can tell you about the history of the battle spear" was already in use somewhere? So there you have it, folks, the future of comedy: safe jokes, stories that take turns you least expect, and a machine that stubbornly refuses to gossip about your mother-in-law. Doesn't that sound like the perfect evening?
