Well, can we generate something on really serious topics? freeonlinesurveys.com/s/ZK4rNyYX

okay, since today is April Fool's Day, I'd like to share some results on fully automated jokes + cartoons generation. more examples and details in my substack post altsoph.substack.com/p/comic-cart...

Earlier, we with x.com/framrus developed a humor generation method that gives human-level results on blind tests. Our original paper from ICCC-2024, Humor Mechanics: Advancing Humor Generation with Multistep Reasoning

x.com/SaveTheRbtz and I launch HUMOR-ARENA (humor.ph34r.me), generated humor labeling site with the models ranking, and the top of generated jokes. Blog-post: altsoph.medium.com/humor-arena-...
