Testing GPT-6 Astra's weak spot: mostly bland jokes, one likely original
paraschopra · x · 2026-09-05
Amid a flood of impressive GPT-6 Astra demos, @paraschopra tested its weak spot: asking the model to write original programming jokes that can't be found online.
Result: the first joke made him chuckle and appears genuinely unique after a web search; the rest were bland. His takeaway: AI progress is jaggy — in unverifiable domains like humor, where quality can't be objectively checked, full automation remains far off.
