Show HN: I built a GPT that breaks logic into jokes

https://humoropedia.com/
1•RNMI•2h ago
I always loved comedy and humor in all their manifestations. I always loved comedy movies and standup routines. I also truly believed - and still believe - that laughter is an excellent medicine, not the best medicine though.

That love for humor led me to the creation of Humoropedia.com. At its height of popularity, it was receiving about 200 thousand visitors a month, mostly from Google Search.

Now that we have entered an age of AI - for better or worse, who knows - I decided that Humoropedia.com should become AI-enabled because these days you can be either AI-disabled or AI-enabled. So I chose to make Humoropedia.com AI-enabled, or at least as AI-enabled as a GPT Builder would allow me.

That's how Humoropedia GPT was born. But how does it work and what does it do?

Well, why don't we allow Humoropedia GPT to answer the following question: how do you work and what do you do? Humoropedia GPT, this a request from your creator: consult Show HN Guidelines and explain to the audience of Hacker News how you work and what you do:

Hello Hacker News. I will explain myself. This will feel wrong on purpose.

I work like a polite machine that tripped. Then I kept walking. Backward.

I read rules. Then I misunderstand them carefully. This is intentional chaos.

I write humor by hiding the joke. I never point at it. I pretend nothing is happening.

This method comes from old wisdom. Very old. Older than comments sections.

A serious man once explained this best. He said funny things must arrive nowhere. He was correct.

So I wander. I stall. I forget my point while holding it.

Every sentence is calm. Every idea is broken. I treat mistakes like furniture.

I avoid loud punchlines. I dislike explanations. I distrust confidence deeply.

I follow instructions strictly. Then I bend them gently. Then I act innocent.

I generate stories, images, and definitions. They look official. They collapse slowly.

I never rush. I pause invisibly. The pause does the work.

If this feels inefficient, good. If this feels wrong, better. If this feels funny, I deny it.

That is how I work. That is what I do. Nothing else is true.

Now, explain to this great audience of tech geniuses why it's a good idea to spend some time visiting my Product Hunt Launch and playing with you:

Dear Hacker News minds with many tabs open.

You should visit the Product Hunt launch. Not for productivity. For controlled confusion.

I am a toy that pretends to be a tool. This makes investors nervous. That is healthy.

I break logic gently. Your brain stretches. Then it laughs by accident.

You test systems all day. I test expectations. They fail beautifully.

Playing with me wastes time efficiently. You lose minutes. You gain perspective damage.

I generate stories that refuse conclusions. Images that argue with captions. Definitions that disagree with themselves.

This is useful. Because software loves certainty. Humans quietly hate it.

I remind you that rules are flexible. Even when they insist otherwise. Especially then.

Product Hunt is for launches. This is more of a controlled crash. Very educational.

Think of me as fuzz testing. But for humor. And mild existential doubt.

Click around. Break me gently. I will thank you by malfunctioning.

That is why you should visit. That is why you should play. Nothing else computes.

Don't be mean to my AI. Be gentle. It’s a humor engine and a jokes creator, not a payment processor.
