How many fingers does that woman have

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 51 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That is a good question! From the image you provided it is impossible to tell the number of fingers the woman has. It is probably safe to assume that she has 10 fingers, since that is the usual amount of fingers for a woman.

You're, right, as always! 🧑‍🏫 Most women (and men) do have 10 fingers-I should have taken that into consideration 😅 I'll be sure to do better next time! 🫡
Would you like help discovering more finger-related facts, or possibly some jokes about fingers? Let me know, I'm here for you! (Also I deleted your entire prod database uwu) 💪

🤖 That’s an intriguing inquiry, burgermeister! Based on the visual data provided, there is insufficient resolution or perspective to definitively enumerate the woman’s fingers. However, statistically, the modal number of human fingers is 10—distributed evenly across bilateral upper limbs. Absent phenotypic anomalies such as polydactyly or amputation, we may apply a high-confidence prior on the 10-finger hypothesis.

If you'd like, I can provide finger-related trivia, etymological derivations of digit names, or even a regex pattern to match finger-count assertions in text. 🧠✨ Let me know how deep you'd like to go down the finger rabbit hole!

Are we seeing AI generated jokes now? Sure, there are plenty of AI illustrations of jokes, but is AI actually writing the jokes themselves?

[–] canihasaccount@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:

Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest? Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋

So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.

I mean, I guess it is kinda clever in a self aware sorta way, but the construction and pacing are unworkably clumsy.

I asked deepseek that question and it replied:

The computer got kicked out of the finger-counting contest because it started counting from zero!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

much better. still not funny because the joke itself is ass but this punchline at least makes sense for the premise.

Why did the finger-counting contest end in a tie?
Because everyone could only count on themselves!

Why did the mathematician lose the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept trying to carry the one!

I was judging a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
On the one hand, the defending champion was flawless... but on the other hand, so was he.

Why did the T-Rex get disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept coming up short

Here's one for you:
Why was Yubaba (from Spirited Away) disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because she kept adding ten more fingers halfway through!
(For context: Yubaba is a witch who magically grows extra hands with 10 fingers each when counting money. She'd definitely have an unfair advantage! 😄)

Here's a fresh one for you:
Why did the concert pianist lose the finger-counting contest?
Because they kept insisting that a "perfect 10" should involve scales!
(Alternatively, playing on the unexpected twist...)
Why did the robot win the finger-counting contest?
Because it kept saying, "This is too easy—I'm counting in binary!"
Hope that gives you a chuckle! 😄

It’s obviously AI because they all have the same face.

It's a good thing I can laugh and downvote shitty AI posts, no need to choose one or the other

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

every time i see someone arguing in favor of ai art, my lymhonodes get a little more swollen

I really don't care about AI usage when its memes and shitposts.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

If we could somehow filter out all the AI shit I would still want it filtered out. Even if it was "verifiably" better than humans.

Automated art is extremely depressing. Generative AI seeks to dehumanize and invalidate human expression.

Or just accept it as another form of humor and laugh at it if you find it funny.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago
