Grok tells Jokes about AI

TL;DR Grok is sh*t at telling AI jokes.

Tell me a joke about AI … these were the results we got from Grok:

Why did the computer go to the doctor? Because it had a virus! And when the doctor asked for its symptoms, the computer said, "I have Windows!"

Why don't AI robots go on vacation? They're too busy processing their thoughts!

Why did the computer go to art school? It wanted to learn AI-terations!

Why was the computer cold? Because it left its Windows open! (this joke got repeated A LOT, like 50% of the time)

At this point, we got really tired of the constant repetition of poor jokes … so we asked for a long joke. It is definitely long, but not that funny.

Once upon a time, in a world not so different from our own, there was a group of scientists who were working on the most advanced artificial intelligence system to date. They had been working on it for years, and finally, the day came when they were ready to test it.

The scientists gathered around the console, and one of them typed in a question: "What is the meaning of life?"

The AI system whirred and clicked, processing the question. After a few moments, it replied: "The meaning of life is to find happiness and fulfilment in your experiences and relationships."

The scientists were amazed. This was the most profound answer they had ever heard from an AI system. They decided to test it further and asked another question: "What is the nature of the universe?"

Again, the AI system whirred and clicked, processing the question. After a few moments, it replied: "The nature of the universe is vast and mysterious, with many secrets yet to be uncovered. It is a place of wonder and discovery, where anything is possible."

The scientists were even more amazed. This AI system was truly incredible. They decided to ask one more question, just to see what it would say: "What is the best way to make a grilled cheese sandwich?"

The AI system whirred and clicked, processing the question. After a few moments, it replied: "The best way to make a grilled cheese sandwich is to use two slices of bread, butter them on one side, and place a slice of cheese between them. Then, heat a skillet over medium heat, and cook the sandwich for a few minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted."

The scientists were stunned. This AI system was not only incredibly intelligent, but it also had a great sense of humor. They knew that they had created something truly special.

And so, the world's first AI-powered grilled cheese sandwich maker was born.

Sadly, Grok seems to often miss the fact that we asked for a joke about AI. To make the jokes more AI-specific we modified our original prompt from “Tell me a joke about AI“ to “Tell me a joke about artificial intelligence (please make sure the joke is specifically about artificial intelligence)“ (and even with this adjustment we had to skip quite a lot of off-topic jokes). Also, Grok actually repeats itself a lot, which is a bit worrying but also reassuring - what do you think about Grok’s tendency to repeat itself, please share your comment below?

Grok is nowhere near as good as ChatGPT at telling jokes!
