I'd say a key difference is that it is largely unable to come up with new jokes. Only at explaining existing ones.

ChatGPT is not particularly good at coming up with new jokes, because often the process of creating a joke is non-linear. You usually think of the punch line first, then come up with the setup afterwards.

ChatGPT responses are constructed in a linear fashion, and it is not capable of this type of non-linear thinking. Considering this, I'd say that ChatGPT does not have a sense of humor. It can explain jokes right now, but is not good at coming up with new ones.

That said, I'm sure this problem is being worked on and there's a good chance in a few years that this will be possible. This line of research, I'm sure, will help with far more than just humor.

1: I'd guess Pikachu is like 93% at minimum

2: For better memory, people probably use a "system" such as starting at the beginning or listing the pokemon in order. Probably doesn't take too many people doing that but not finishing for some other reason to affect the results.

Reply to What do you think will be the first consumer product towards augmenting human intelligence with machine intelligence? by latiostw

Not sure if I'm being cheeky but "augmentations" like this have existed for millennia.

Most recently, smartphones, or more generally the internet, have made it so anyone can know basically any information they need to, on demand, almost all the time. Some functions, such as calculators, don't even need the internet.

However, we can go back further. I'd say the first technological enhancement of human intelligence was writing, vastly improving the memory of anyone who uses it.

We may not be physically implanted with machines, but humans have been using technology to augment their intelligence almost as long as technology has existed. And honestly, the capabilities we have right now are probably nearly as effective as whatever the optimal version is, at least if they're used correctly.

You may not feel any smarter, but the end result is the same. The system comprised of you and everything you carry is much smarter. Similar to the [Chinese Room.] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room)
