AI Subtlety and Humour

Ridley Park discusses the author's frustration with generative AI's struggles with subtlety, satire, and irony, using an example from their own writing process where AI suggested an inappropriate humorous line for an emergency call scenario. The author questions whether this AI deficiency is merely a reflection of a broader human tendency to miss nuance, noting the prevalence of over-explanation in various forms of media. Ultimately, the piece ponders if higher standards for understanding should be applied to AI than are often met by a significant portion of the human population.
