What even is the point of doing stand up comedy if you use an AI to make up your jokes? If you use AI for your stand up material you should just put the laptop on stage and let it read the jokes in the Microsoft robot voice lol

apparently a couple of the DeepMind guys do a standup routine with AI, but they make the AI the hook for the show. Don't know if there are videos online.

Nah, the extra absurdity of using Microsoft SAM might unintentionally make something actually funny.
