• Title: Witscript 3: A Hybrid AI System for Improvising Jokes in a Conversation
• Authors: Joe Toplyn
• Abstract summary: Previous papers presented Witscript and Witscript 2, AI systems for improvising jokes in a conversation. Wittscript 3 generates jokes that rely on wordplay, whereas the jokes generated by Witscript 2 rely on common sense. Human evaluators judged Witscript 3's responses to input sentences to be jokes 44% of the time.

• Abstract: Previous papers presented Witscript and Witscript 2, AI systems for improvising jokes in a conversation. Witscript generates jokes that rely on wordplay, whereas the jokes generated by Witscript 2 rely on common sense. This paper extends that earlier work by presenting Witscript 3, which generates joke candidates using three joke production mechanisms and then selects the best candidate to output. Like Witscript and Witscript 2, Witscript 3 is based on humor algorithms created by an expert comedy writer. Human evaluators judged Witscript 3's responses to input sentences to be jokes 44% of the time. This is evidence that Witscript 3 represents another step toward giving a chatbot a humanlike sense of humor.

  This paper is the first work that systematically investigates the humor understanding ability of pre-trained language models (PLMs) We construct a comprehensive Chinese humor dataset, which can fully meet all the data requirements of the proposed evaluation framework. Our empirical study on the Chinese humor dataset yields some valuable observations, which are of great guiding value for future optimization of PLMs in humor understanding and generation.

  OpenAI's ChatGPT model almost seems to communicate on a human level and can even tell jokes. In a series of exploratory experiments around jokes, i.e., generation, explanation, and detection, we seek to understand ChatGPT's capability to grasp and reproduce human humor. Our empirical evidence indicates that jokes are not hard-coded but mostly also not newly generated by the model.
