Honestly? The whole bit read as irony. I’m not sure how it couldn’t be.

Yeah, it definitely appears like the punchline is: there’s nothing funny about transphobia, albeit through the clunky delivery of AI.

This is getting near trump levels of logic with this award show stuff.

She took home 4 other Grammys last night... which ended up making her the most awarded Grammy artist of all time. And yet, this is what you’re complaining about? She didn’t win enough? That’s what you’re going with...?

That was my interpretation as well. I don’t know what it says about me but I 100% took that as a subtle jab at hack right-wing “comedians”.

She broke the record for most Grammy’s and is worth a bajillion dollars. But she didn’t win a single award (that is handed out every year) so she is the ultimate victim or cruel and tragic racism.

Yep, that was my take.

So now we’re calling this racist? Grow up, it’s a stupid award given for reasons most people don’t give a rat’s ass about...

As soon as I read “No one is laughing at my jokes.” I knew the AI was about to dip into copying some bad angry comedian.

same here

“So, this is my stand-up set at a club,” Larry said. “There’s, like, 50 people here and no one is laughing. Anyone have any suggestions? I’m thinking about doing a bit about how being transgender is actually a mental illness or how all liberals are secretly gay and want to impose their will on everyone or something…

That’s how I heard it. It seemed to be pretty overtly mocking the idea of making transphobic humor.

Yeah that was my thinking too. But if it’s violating TOS and bringing up dicey topics, there’s probably other risks of it not ironically making fun of these topics and actually spouting off some heinous bullshit

Yeah, it scans to me as “these kinds of jokes would absolutely bomb because they’re actually not funny” but seems like kind of a gray area to attribute to an AI. You’d probably prefer it just doesn’t wade into those waters at all unless it can much more confidently stick the landing.

Honestly, that bit comes off almost like an insightful joke about how washed-up aging comedians try to stay relevant in 2023. “No one is laughing at my jokes. Maybe I should try saying hateful bullshit about trans people and liberals.” Just replace Jerry with Dave Chapelle or Louis CK and you’ve practically got a…

I may be using this term incorrectly, but that seems like a “meta” joke to me; a joke about how bad those ideas are for a joke.

Maybe AI isn’t that advanced yet. I don’t even know if I understand the concept of “meta” humor.

Is it just me, or did it sound like the AI was almost riffing on transphobic comedians? “No one was laughing.” Like it was pointing out that that shit isn’t funny.

Ah, I was wondering when it would start denying the holocaust like every other AI before it. Glad to see it got there before the transphobia.

I always get the sense that the Bill Clinton Administration thought they were the new Camelot. They thought they had united all of the neo-cons and that there would be forever peace in the US’s political system. They thought Al Gore was going to give them eight more years to complete their goals. They planned…

Is this guy confused as to who his boss was at the time and that person was in charge? Did he genuinely think Monica was his boss?
