Humor is how we communicate our intelligence.
Humor depends on something being out of context, that does not fit into “its” pattern.
Only a Brain that knows the pattern can tell when something does not fit.
Explaining a joke is not funny. Explaining “why” fits the something into another pattern. Those of similar brains who see similar patterns just “get it.”
Pieces out of context are not always funny. Chaos can be terrifying. Clowns.
Do animals laugh?
Of course, when someone does something out of context that they see as funny.
Will machines ever laugh?
Of course, but we’ll never know why it happens.
We won’t get the joke.
Machines explaining it to us won’t be very funny.
