AI Community Meme: Stop Being Funny, Be Serious
apoorvasriniva · x · 2026-07-15
This is a classic AI community meme: someone quotes, "Be funny, guys. The robots are really bad at being funny," to which another replies, "Don't be funny, many in academia dislike that. Be very, very serious; we are solving important problems."
The humor lies in the contrast: even when discussing how robots "can't tell jokes," human researchers are earnestly defending their "seriousness."
