Knock, knock. Who's there? GPT-5! GPT-5 who? Well, that's what we're here to find out! ๐
LLMs have been accused of having a sense of humor drier than a desert, but rumor has it that GPT-5 might just be the comedian we've all been waiting for. Will it be the AI that finally tickles our funny bones, or will it be just another bot with a bad case of the 'boo-boos'? ๐ค
The above was written by Claude Opus when I asked it to make the description more fun. You can probably see the point of this market.
I'm going to ask GPT-5 to make an original joke 5 times as soon as I get the access. I'm going to check generated jokes for originality to the best of my ability, and if some aren't original, I'll ask again until I get 5 original jokes.
I will post all 5 jokes in a poll here on Manifold "Are ANY of these jokes generated by GPT-5 funny?", which will be open for a week. If the poll gets more than 50% YES votes, then this market resolves YES.
Prompting ideas for generating good jokes are welcome.
I won't bet in this market.
1,000Joke-writing is much more difficult than AI models tend to think it is. I think if GPT-5 is trained to recognize that writing a joke is difficult, it would use extra thinking time and fairly easily be able to write a funny one. But I don't think this will happen. Jokes are also very contextual, and by default it will rehash inoffensive science jokes.
It would be helpful to know the exact prompt to be used, since that can make a lot of difference.
@Bair I don't have specific recommendations. I did some experimenting with Claude 3.7 Sonnet with reasoning and couldn't get it to follow my instructions for a good joke-writing process.
