Hi Hunters! I had this idea after applying for a comedy writing gig that said it was open to those who are "human or a particularly convincing AI." I've seen bots trained on non-comedic material create unintentionally funny output and I was curious what would happen if a bot was trained on comedy.
The source material is the closed captioning text from 1,100 YouTube videos. The captions include...
