AI is pretty terrible with jokes.
Prompt:
Write some jokes about a rabbit, a grape, and a spare tire.
The response is really pretty terrible.
Why did the rabbit bring a grape and a spare tire to the party?
Because he heard things might get a little flat… and he didn’t want to show up wine-less!
🛞

Because he wanted a grape seat cushion in case things got tiring.
What do you call a rabbit, a grape, and a spare tire on a road trip?
A hop, a pop, and a stop!

Because carrots were too mainstream!
The rabbit told the grape: “Hop in the spare tire!”
The grape said, “Why?”
The rabbit replied, “Because this story needs some round character development.”

Yeah, this is exactly where AI shows its seams. It stacks wordplay like a checklist instead of letting one joke breathe. Too many puns, no timing, no restraint. It reads like someone explaining why a joke should be funny instead of just telling it. Comedy needs taste and knowing when to stop. AI doesn’t get bored of itself yet, and that’s the problem.

Those are better jokes than I could write but I guess that bar isn't so high. I would like to see AI get into a pun contest with OJ.
