AI Prompt for Chapter 1: Jokes by LLMs

Based on the AI jokes you read toward the end of Chapter 1, here’s an AI option for exploration. Using one or more LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity), ask the chatbot to tell you some jokes. Here are some sample prompts to start:

• Are you very good at telling jokes?
• Tell me a joke about artificial intelligence.
• Tell me a joke about media literacy.
• Tell me a joke about the movie industry.
• Tell me a joke about the newspaper industry.

After you’ve generated a few jokes, consider the following questions:

• How predictable (and/or funny) are the jokes?
• Large-language models are dependent on the statistical probability of the next likely words or phrase. Do you think that hinders their usefulness for creative joke-telling?
