My favorite exchange on ChatGPT (back in March):

**You**
Tell me a dad joke.

**ChatGPT**
Why did the tomato turn red?

Because it saw the salad dressing!

**You**
Can you explain to me why that joke is funny?

**ChatGPT**
Sure, I'd be happy to explain why that joke is considered funny!

The humor in this joke comes from a play on words and a bit of misdirection. The first part of the joke sets up an expectation that there will be a serious or logical explanation for why the tomato turned red. However, the punchline delivers a silly and unexpected answer that has nothing to do with the actual reason for the tomato's color change.

The play on words is in the phrase "saw the salad dressing." The word "saw" can be interpreted in two ways: as the past tense of "see" (as in, the tomato observed the dressing) or as a cutting tool (as in, the tomato was physically sliced by the dressing). This creates a bit of confusion and a humorous mental image, which is why the joke is often considered amusing. Additionally, the idea of a tomato being aware of salad dressing is absurd and adds to the silliness of the joke.

We went on a bit further with me pointing out that their murder take was distasteful, and it responded that humor is subjective.

Fucking hilarious

... until AI starts "pranking" us by making us dead.

Honestly, AI trained on successful governance and social satisfaction would be a better president than what we have now. Then again, so would my cat.

The reason this was amusing was because you expected salad dressing recipes, but instead I activated the security system and murdered you. Is there anything else I can help you with?

I didn't saw that coming. But maybe that's because I didn't have a saw on me.
