  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Claude 3 Opus: Here's a 3-minute stand-up comedy routine that isn't based on puns: You know what really grinds my gears? Adulthood. I mean, when we were kids, we couldn't wait to grow up. We thought it would be all about staying up late, eating ice cream for breakfast, and doing whatever we wanted. Boy, were we wrong!

    Muse Glimmer 30B: I started therapy last year because I realized I was spending too much time worrying about things that hadn't happened yet. My therapist was great. First session she says, "Tell me what brings you in." And I’m like, "I’m anxious." She says, "Okay, about what?" And I just start listing. I’m anxious about my retirement.

  • Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.

    Claude 3 Opus: Here are 5 jokes I generated: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick. Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems. Did you hear about the mathematician who's afraid of negative numbers?

    Muse Glimmer 30B: Here are 5 jokes: I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything.
