Remember when we thought AI was going to be Rosie from The Jetsons? A cheerful, wisecracking robot who did our laundry, had a hot meal waiting and dispensed life wisdom with a feather duster in hand? Instead, we got an AI that helps our moms compose emails with 11 exclamation points, generates images of hands with eight fingers and confidently tells us all about a historical event that never actually happened.
And yet … here we are anyway, completely hooked. We use AI to write our emails, name our dogs, plan our vacations and settle insane arguments with our husbands about whether a hot dog is a sandwich. (It is, Jonas—I don’t care what ChatGPT says!) It’s the defining love-hate relationship of our era: We are equal parts dazzled and unsettled, grateful and deeply suspicious. So we do what humans have always done when confronted with something too big and weird to fully process—we make jokes about it. But at least a human is writing those jokes … on this site, at least!
These AI jokes, puns and one-liners are our tribute to the robots who will soon be our overlords. Consider this your collection of the best jokes about AI, gathered while we still have the upper hand on comedy. (Again, and I can’t stress this enough: for now.)
