Yeesh, that shows a pretty comprehensive dearth of humour in the model. It did a decent examination of characteristics that might form the components of a joke, but completely failed to actually construct one.

I couldn't see a single idea or wordplay that actually made sense or elicited anything like a chuckle. The model _nearly_ got there with 'krill' and 'kill', but failed to actually make the pun that it had already identified.

Yeah it's very interesting... It appears to lead itself astray: the way it looks at several situational characteristics, gives each a "throw-away" example, only to then mushing all those examples together to make a joke seems to be it's downfall in this particular case.

Also I can't help but think that if it had written out a few example jokes about animals rather than simply "thinking" about jokes, it might have come up with something better
