- Title: Teaching Computers Humor is No Laughing Matter
- Description: Why do people laugh, how can we teach this to computers? In this talk, we dive deep into the theory behind humor and the history of computational humor. We see why humor is still difficult for language models like ChatGPT, and how we can still bend this kind of AI to our will to write jokes with it.
