I get you yourself are making a joke, but I’d argue that to “create a joke”, you have to understand that’s what you’re doing and have that as a goal. Being made fun of (like in this case) is a different matter and requires no skill or creativity.

To your metric, I remember in “the early days” someone posted to HN claiming ChatGPT could make jokes as proof of something (creativity? sentience? I forget). Of course, with just a minute of research (which the poster obviously neglected to do) it was obvious none of the jokes were original and all could be found online.
