The inimitable humour: Decoding AI’s comedic failures

Humour is an intercultural, psychological activity that brings people together through shared experiences and emotions, socially, culturally, and emotionally. The impact of a humour script is contingent on many factors, ranging from the social and cultural context to the dispositions, inclinations, and temperaments of the speaker and receiver. This paper takes different theoretical positions and analyses the context-sensitive and emotionally charged nature of humour, which further explains the socio-cultural and psychological functions of humour within a society. The paper reviews the quality of humour produced by AI with human humour by looking at the specific traits and functions of humour. Based on different socio — linguistic and psychological theories, the research compares the style of jokes that human and AI systems make, highlighting the need for linguistic variation, timing, audience adaptability, and cultural nuance within humour. This article tries to expose the flaws of AI by leaning on the complexity of humour as an extremely human phenomenon. The article argues that interdisciplinary research is needed for a better understanding of the complexities of humour and its role in human life. The study demonstrates that AI-generated humour obstructs the traditional roles of humour in society.
