Can AI Make Me Laugh?

~ sarahtipper ~ Leave a comment

My previous blog post about feminism has left me feeling a little glum about all the work left to do. I’m wondering can AI make me laugh? I love words so I will ask what are the three funniest typos ever? I’ll start by asking ChatGPT.

I’m a bit startled by the words “Good to see you” for two reasons, firstly I don’t think ChatGPT can see me and secondly I am dressed for a quiet evening.

Anyway, here’s the answer:

Two of these typos are genital based and it reminded me of the time I typed Nob instead of Nov. I wonder if I can make ChatGPT laugh by telling it I once typed Nobmember instead of November? I shall try.

ChatGPT’s answer was better than I expected.

Would I like a fake holiday? Oh yes.

Excellent. Here’s an official fake holiday for Nobmember:

🎉 International Day of Accidental Innuendo

📅 Celebrated on: Nobmember 14th
🗣️ Motto: “It’s not what I meant, but now it’s funnier.”

🌍 Description:

A day to honor the beautiful chaos of typos, double entendres, and autocorrect fails that turn innocent sentences into snort-laugh disasters. Whether you meant to write “shirt” but didn’t, or told your boss you were “busting” instead of “bursting” with ideas—this is your day.

🪧 Traditions:

  • Share your most embarrassing or hilarious typos on social media using the hashtag #NobmemberFails
  • Read out loud texts you regret sending without pre-reading
  • Host a “Typo Toast” night where friends bring snacks labeled with intentionally misspelled names (e.g., “chikkin nuglets,” “beered cheese”)
  • Play AutoWrong, a game where everyone uses autocorrect and can’t edit messages

📜 Fun Fact:

Legend says the first Nobmember celebration began when someone sent a very earnest business email that read:

“I look forward to pubic collaboration this Nobmember.”

They are now a legend.

Would you like a poster or meme image made for it?

Both please!

Asking for both please resulted in just one image. When I asked please create a meme image I got the same image again. However, ChatGPT has entertained me and has not been very rude, just a little bit cheeky. Let’s see what Copilot does;

I’ll now see if Copilot is amused when I tell it I once typed Nobmember instead of November.

It seems churlish not to take Copilot up on the offer to write a scene where a typo spiral wildly out of control…

It occurs to me that Copilot is starting to incorporate my previous queries and so I might want to ask it to forget. I’ve been using Chat GPT and Copilot for six days. Here is what my Chats look like:

Here is what my Conversations look like:

I realise I have learnt that ChatGPT calls my requests chats and Copilot calls them conversations.

Asking ChatGPT and Copilot the Same Complicated Question

~ sarahtipper ~ Leave a comment

I realise I’ve been using AI for relatively trivial purposes so I’ll ask a big question; Where should feminism focus its efforts in order to achieve gender equality in the shortest possible time?

Chat GPT produced this answer;

This was a comprehensive answer. Let’s see what Copilot has to say;

Again a good answer but I think the ChatGPT inclusion of intersectionality makes it stronger. I wonder what progress will have been made if I ask again in a decade?

Asking ChatGPT and Copilot the Same Question – What are the ten Best Biscuits?

I like listicles, those articles which are essentially a list. I’m going to ask about the ten best biscuits. I expect the chocolate digestive to come out very high in both lists. Here’s ChatGPT’s answer;

Here’s Copilot’s answer;

Both lists are similar and I feel like I’ve read this content many times before. This is much more a reflection of how I spend my time and not a criticism of AI. To introduce a debate I’ll ask which is better the Penguin or the Tim Tam? Here is ChatGPT’s answer;

Here is Copilot’s answer;

I’ve eaten more Tim Tams than Penguins recently. I’m unsure if this trend will continue. If you would like a biscuit focused day out I recommend going to Reading Museum and viewing their collection of Huntley & Palmer’s biscuits tins. They have a splendid top ten of these should you not live near Berkshire/be unwilling to go on real world biscuit based excursions.

Asking ChatGPT and Copilot the Same Question – What are the ten Best Christmas Books?

I have a lot of Christmas books, see shelfie below. I’ll ask both ChatGPT and Copilot what the ten best christmas books are. I’m expecting to have heard of a lot of them.

Here’s ChatGPT’s answer;

I’m aware of nine out of ten of these books. It’s a good list. Here is Copilot’s answer;

I’m aware of eight out of ten of these books. Charles Dickens is still the favourite after all these years!

Asking ChatGPT and Copilot the Same Question – How to Write a Successful book

~ sarahtipper ~ Leave a comment

I am going to ask ChatGPT and Copilot the same thing and see what answers I get. I sat outside Blackwell’s bookshop in Oxford today and thought how wonderful it would be if my book was in the window.

So this will be my prompt; I would like to write a successful book that gets displayed in Blackwell’s window. What should I write a book about? What should the title of my book be?

This was the response when I asked Copilot on 10th June 2025

I notice I didn’t actually get a book title.

This was the response when I asked ChatGPT on 10th June 2025

Both Copilot and ChatGPT knew that Blackwell’s is splendid. I got more assistance towards my goal from ChatGPT.
