Artificial intelligence has made it possible for the improvement of technology in a fast way. Every decade, humans come up with a better invention that makes life more convenient to use. However, the presence of artificial intelligence has made innovation faster instead of the usual slow pattern we have in the production of technological update.
Artificial intelligence has amazed us on countless occasions, showing us that task that initially required days to do, could be carried out within hours, and some of the task that use to take us days before, could be carried out easily within hours.
Do you think it is possible that one day, artificial intelligence will replace comedy? In order for artificial intelligence to be able to make comedy by itself, the scientists have to work on putting a sense of humour into the machine and according to Miller, he described the act as one of the most difficult area for computer intelligence to understand. A machine does not have a mind of its own, it only gain knowledge from what it is told and the knowledge obtained from the happenings around it.
Artificial intelligence can perform comedies written by humans but presently they lack the ability to perform their own jokes.
Should comedians relax about artificial intelligence taking over their job?
Rayz who is very good at programming, has tried to make computers understand humour so they will be able to crack jokes on their own and she explained that the results was sometimes a thing that could be laughed about and in other cases the jokes made were not to be classified funny in any way, although the computer gave technical reasons as to why the joke should be classified as being funny.
Slomin who is as well a good programmer, has tried to put some sense of humour into the machine but on several occasions, it had backfired.
Different views of scientists on machines having a sense of humour.
There is still a very significant gap between what machines can do and what humans are doing, both in language and in humour. Slomin.
Teaching AI systems humour is dangerous because they may find where it isn’t and they may use it where it’s inappropriate. Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny. Hempelamann
On the contrary, Miller from Darmstadt University feels:
There are good reasons to have artificial intelligence try to learn to get humour. It makes machines more relatable, especially if you can get them to understand sarcasm.
Bishop who is a scientist and also a comedian warns that someday the intelligence of humans may become more than human intelligence.
If AI gets that, I think we have a problem.
Dear readers, what is your own opinion, do you feel machines should have a sense of humour so they could just tell us funny jokes, then the talent of stand-up comedians will become irrelevant or do you have another opinion, please do well to share your opinion through the comment section.
