When we need the help of AI to get a joke, we know that it is the end of times...

pez11:10:41

Haha. We rather know that we are at the beginning of infinity! So looking forward to where this generative AI thing will take us.

ehernacki11:10:55

I take that assumption only if infinity here is meant as indefinitude 😅

Fun fact: cow tipping is a regional past time in the state of Ohio (very rural areas) and it was prominently featured in the film Tommy Boy with Chris Farley and David Spade. Rob Lowe plays a character in that film as well, and, on film set, educated Chris Farley on the existence of this so called "cow prank" ... cow tipping. The film Tommy Boy is hilarious and worth a watch if you've never seen it.

Didn’t need AI this time. 😃

pez11:10:05

Heck, I had to give it a go:

Considering this situation isn't really serious or important, thus I don't mean it directly to someone in particular, the fact that one would rather trust a machine than a person to look for an answer shows one more thing we're heading to the end 😃

ehernacki11:10:13

And I wasn't jesting

pez11:10:26

Trust isn’t the issue for me in cases like this. It’s more about not bothering people with my ignorance of something. So in the context of the cow tipping image, I deemed it better to help myself than to derail that discussion with the question.

I don't think this is ignorance. As a non-native speaker, sometimes I need help in understanding play of words, and jokes that heavily rely on cultural aspects, foreign to my cultural background.

The tractor tipping scene in Cars is great.

It could be be my broken English, but ignorance here only means that I don’t know something. In this case for the exact reasons you state, @U0660N9JT.

Wonder how ChatGPT would do on a typical xkcd comic. Only one way to find out!

ChatGPT knows that I am Swedish and uses that when explaining things like this to me. It’s not obvious in this particular exchange, but often it is.

selahb14:10:43

Well, got it right, but this one was a bit easy. I'll try a more challenging one.

pez14:10:08

I didn’t go for challenging 😃

selahb14:10:20

Lisp answer is solid, but looks like http://explainxkcd.com is not yet obsolete.

I have a completely different take than ChatGPT on the DST one. 😃 But I’ll refrain from offering my take, because reasons.

Evan Bernard20:10:13

the fun of that last one (vocab update) being that the statement, itself, is comprised of 12 words, right? 🙂

jpmonettas10:10:35

@U053URTDGDD yes, and that is interesting, since it didn't figure it out

pez11:10:56

Thanks, @U053URTDGDD, maybe I am as stupid as ChatGPT, but I didn’t get that either. A while ago, I would have expected AI to be much better than me on this particular challenge. Had to experiment a bit with it: https://twitter.com/pappapez/status/1717500681072898527

Omar11:10:35

that's insane that it could even recognize the smaller character. haven't kept up with the latest chatgpt updates so this thread has been pretty mind blowing.

upside-down e is also a "schwa" in linguistics ə
