Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed this read. I’ve found that AI has helped me with SEO, brainstorming and brain dumping, crunching numbers, working through equations, logic problems, and checking the tone of a message I’m sending —so my “voice” communicates as intended (and I don’t come off sounding critical, cynical, or flippant).
I’ve also enjoyed experimenting with how it processes my prompts.
I engage in conversational back and forth to see how far and deep the AI can go before it hits a wall.
I haven’t tested its ability to specifically tell jokes. But I have tested its ability to trash talk to an online troll. A few weeks ago, I shared with the AI a comment I posted and a comment someone posted in response. I asked the AI what it thought and how I should reply. I thought the AI responses would be corny and sophomoric. I was wrong.
I swear it felt like I was conversing with a friend who was ready to hop in the car and find this guy. The AI had some hardcore, hilariously cutthroat retorts that had me cracking up laughing. I think that our banter over the months also helped to shape its “understanding” of what I would think as a good comeback response.
Now, back to your post and experiment: Let me say, I giggled and even burst into laughter a few times while reading the Texas BBQ recipe. I began visualizing the chef, all of the butter, and the look of disgust on his face when he sees the store bought BBQ sauce. I don’t know why I visualized him with a handlebar mustache!!!
When he makes the backhanded comment about not burning the food like you burned your last relationship, I laughed even harder.
I enjoyed reading your post and reflecting on the healthy balance needed when using tech tools. It’s how we view the technology that determines whether we see it as a tool or a replacement of humanity. Anything in excess can have negative consequences.

I think battling online trolls is a good task for AI to take on. That's a great idea! And yes, using AI conversationally can be very revealing.
