I’m a standup comedian, and I’m trying to exploit the available
knowledge in cognitive science about text prediction in order to
improve the way humor text is edited. I’m under no illusions that
machines can write humor better than a human (yet)…
They all laughed when I said I wanted to build a joke-telling machine.
Well, I showed them! Nobody’s laughing now!
