AI cannot possibly laugh at itself - not in any genuine sense - because (like lots of humans) - it has no sense of humor. That doesn't mean AI can't be funny. It can be brutally funny but that's the point.
AI can never come at a subject from a POV of its personal relationship with it. Humor flows from our personal relationships with the ordinary - when it stops being ordinary. "Hey - look at that!" is where comedy starts.
AI can't ever be surprised or delighted or piqued or challenged or compelled or annoyed into being witty.
AI can only ever be funny the way a schoolyard bully is "funny" (and they aren't funny) - by laughing AT people (never WITH them).
AI can approximate what it is to be human. It can't ever BE it. And because it can't BE human, AI can't truly articulate it - other than by mimicking what some human said about being human.
It's a stone cold fact: not every human has a sense of humor. Take Donald Trump. "Please" (as Henny Youngman would have added).
He cannot laugh at himself. It has always been that supreme heel's Achilles heel.
