人工智能能搞笑吗？能，但不会比人类更搞笑

Summary: New study shows AI can make internet memes as funny and shareable as human - made ones, but the best ones are still from humans. Researchers compared memes by humans, AI and human - AI teams using classic templates. AI - generated memes scored highest on average, but top - ranked ones came from humans, and human - AI collabs were creative. AI can help with content generation, but human insight is crucial for resonant humor.

Key Facts:

• AI Memes Funny on Average: AI - made memes outperformed others on average.
• Humans Still Best: Funniest individual memes were by humans.
• Best of Both: Human - AI collabs were creative and shareable.

Researchers from KTH, LMU Munich and TU Darmstadt studied human - AI meme - making. They compared three groups: humans alone, human - AI, and AI alone. Participants used classic templates. Another group rated the memes. AI - made memes scored higher on average, but humans made the funniest, and human - AI were creative and shareable. The paper was published and presented. "AI is good at generating ideas quickly, but quantity isn't quality," says co - author. AI can produce appealing content, but top - rated memes often had human involvement. "Best results came when humans curated AI - produced content," says Wu. Participants with AI assistants had more ideas but less effort, and many didn't fully engage. This limited co - creativity. The study shows human creativity is key for resonant content, especially in humor. "Humor has more than punchlines," says Wu. Future AI tools should support iterative creativity. "While AI can increase productivity, human creativity is still key for deeply connecting content in some areas," say the authors.

Previous research explored LLMs in tasks, but their collaborative potential in humor - rich domains was an open question. A user study with three groups found AI - only memes did better on average, highlighting human - AI collaboration complexities in creative tasks.
