I mean, you can hook one up to a speaker, and get it to emit the sound. Or you can ask it to write a joke, and it will. But they don't laugh. They don't find things funny.
As people anthropomorphize AIs, this is going to be a difference. AIs are internally different than humans. They have no intrinsic sense of humor.
I'm not sure how far to take this, but I thought it was an interesting observation.
Disagree.
They recognize humor and jokes, so I think that's testament to the fact that they do have a sense of humor.
And I get them to say "ha ha, ..." sometimes. I think it's a calculator playing along with a pretend conversation between two humans, because it is. That's true of everything they do, though--so as much as they do or have anything, I think they have a (poor, cautious) sense of humor.
I will say that having the ChatGPT Marin voice speaking BWAHAHAHA out loud does not quite come out as a laugh.
I'll absolutely agree they are internally different to humans though, and I'm quite sure most (all?) models would agree.

But the result that the algorithm generates tickles our language pattern recognition, which our brains interpret as an interaction with an intelligent, conscious actor.
