There are those that think automating humor is nothing more than a big joke.
And then there are those that think its an incredulous waste of money.
NU prof: Computer research no joke :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Technology
And then there those that believe its a way of modelling the way the brain works.
And then there are those that like me, who feel a little disconcerted thinking of a day when we're going to be so dependent on computers for even a quick joke.
Humour is possibly a recently evolved trait and therefore more susceptible to erosion.
What if all that's left of humans is the ability to understand jokes but not be able to actually make a joke. It can happen!
What if computers ( cloud, cluster) take over the world by telling us really good jokes ? (Gasp!)
