Someone fed an AI program a diet of lawyer commercials and then had it write its own. Funnier than all but the top 8% of Saturday Night Live skits. Disclaimer: my sense of humor is notoriously limited and may not overlap your own. > should be safe for work and free of fungi and whatnot. don’t read with a mouthful of coffee. ---

Would be funnier if it were real. An AI didn’t write this. An attention-starved Twitter user wrote it. He’s also a professional comedian. ---

Oops. Yeah, a lot funnier if a genuine AI had come up with it. ---

Meh, it’s only slightly more funny than the lawyer ads I see, but on the other hand, the real ones aren’t trying to be funny. ---

Comedian writes a very funny thing. Let’s all get mad at the comedian! ETA: I don’t think that just because some comedians fabricated a baseball team with players called Who, What, and I Don’t Know makes the routine less funny. ---

Was there ever any question that the bit was made up? Pretending to have a script written by a machine is much different than claiming to have a script actually written by a machine. Also, I have a higher standard of comedy for an actual professional comedian or comic writer than I do an AI machine. ---

Pretending to have a script written by a machine is much different than claiming to have a script actually written by a machine. Also, I have a higher standard of comedy for an actual professional comedian or comic writer than I do an AI machine. Also, he’s done the “commercial written by an AI” bit to death. This is just the same concept as the [Olive Garden commercial](https://twitter.com/keatonpatti/status/1006961202998726665?lang=en) he said was written by an AI (but was also written by him) from over a year ago. And he’s done several others in the meantime, IIRC. Now if you want funny things that were _actually_ generated by an AI, try this site: [https://aiweirdness.com/](https://aiweirdness.com/)
