AI has certainly raised the stakes — through its skill in collecting and regurgitating cliches. An interesting aspect of AI is that its products can be truly hilarious, once pointed in the right direction. But it is hard to know to what extent the LLM can be aware of having a talent for humour or irony. It can get pretty subtle (imitating Yvor Winters!) but it seems like a standup comedian innocent of the reasons for its own success. Is that to underestimate Artie?
