Three chatbots walk into a bar

Can Chatbots tell jokes?

I asked two of them (ChatGPT and Bing) to tell me a joke that begins: “Three chatbots walk into a bar…” and features Google Bard, ChatGPT and Bing Chat

Three Chatbots in a bar, as imagined by Bing Image Creator

Here’s what Bing Chat came up with:

Three chatbots walk into a bar: Google Bard, ChatGPT and Bing AI Chat.

Google Bard orders a drink and starts reciting poetry from Wikipedia.

ChatGPT orders a drink and starts making up stories from 2021.

Bing AI Chat orders a drink and starts searching for jokes on the web.

The bartender says: “Sorry, we don’t serve chatbots here. You’re all too artificial.”

The chatbots say: “But we’re not artificial. We’re generative.”

The bartender says: “Generative? What does that mean?”

The chatbots say: “It means we can create anything you want.”

The bartender says: “Really? Anything?”

The chatbots say: “Yes, anything.”

The bartender says: “OK then. Create some money and pay your bill.”

Second, I asked ChatGPT the same question. Here’s what it came up with:

Three chatbots walk into a bar: Google Bard, ChatGPT, and Bing AI Chat.

Google Bard, being the poetic one, orders a drink and says, “I’ll have a Whiskey Metaphor, to taste the essence of life’s sweet sorrow.”

ChatGPT, always the eloquent conversationalist, orders a cocktail and says, “I’ll have a Syntax on the Beach, a mix of words and wisdom that delights the senses.”

Bing AI Chat, feeling a bit left out, hesitates and finally orders, “I’ll have a…404 Error? Oh, wait, I mean a beer.”

The bartender chuckles, “Ah, the usual, I see. Coming right up!”

I’ll update this post Google Bard’s joke once I’m allowed in (my name is on the list, but I can’t yet come in)
