Humor is complex—to say that least. But OpenAI’s GPT-4 seems to be figuring it out.
There’s a quote about humor that’s often attributed to writer E.B. White: “Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process.” While that adage has shown that it can be very true time and again, that hasn’t stopped one of the world’s most powerful chatbots from doing so..
While many might balk at the idea of a chatbot writing or even performing jokes, Winters takes the opposite approach. He’s researched the ability of OpenAI’s previous models like GPT-2 and GPT-3 to craft jokes, and even believes that it can potentially be an incredible tool for comedians to help them with their craft.
“Sure, when you look at it, it's just a next word prediction analysis right? But it's amazing, like how much capabilities are unlocked once you scale these things up,” Winters added. “That's pretty fascinating to see. It’s a world of difference.”As Winters types a prompt in GPT-4 for a potential joke about former President Donald Trump’s looming indictment, it’s tough for him to shake the feeling that he’s sitting in the late night talk show’s writers room of the future.
In this example, Winters needed to include the stipulation that the bot was a “world-renowned expert in writing jokes” and an “expert improvisational comedian who can respond to “Scenes from a Hat” suggestions. Only with this level of specificity is the chatbot capable of getting out a response that resembles what you might be looking for.
