I first dipped my toes into the unseemly world of online dating back in 2011, with my true story, “Expelled from Match.com.” I was blown away by how many prospective “matches” inflated their dating profiles to land a first date. In the introduction, I wrote, Last year I enrolled at Match.com using the pen name of “MrMarvelous” just to see if there was anyone out there as desperate as I was to meet their perfect mate. After blowing off an entire day’s work perusing the women within 100 miles of my zip code, seven major metropolises, and all of the neighborhoods I’ve ever lived in, it became readily apparent that…

Unlock Your Creativity AI Tools for Stunning Visuals
I’ve been a rabid fan of AI and ChatGPT since it hit the masses. As someone who’s also crafted award-winning humor for over 20 years, I’m always on the lookout for a “magic bullet” that will help inspire my next piece. What many people don’t know is behind every great humor yarn lies tons of research, a healthy helping of incongruity, and a bit of visual flair to drive home the message.

Where’s ChatGPT’s Sense of Humor? AI's Unfunny Reality
If you’re as old as I am (which is pretty dang old) you might remember a simple book of games called Madlibs. The object was simple: the “writer” would taunt the players into blindly supplying nouns, adjectives, names of famous people, etc. with no idea how they were going to be used. The writer would plug them into blanks in a story, and the fun began. It only took 65 years for the concept to migrate into ChatGPT.
