Will LLMs ever be capable of emulating comedy ?

I work in comedy, not in US, and even though I use LLMs professionally, one thing that genuinely reassures me is watching llm struggle with it. Second degree humor, subverted expectations, joke structure, timing, what actually makes people laugh... They can have their moments, but as a rule they're genuinely terrible at it.

And I have a feeling the ethical guardrails, whether from European regulations or the safety constraints built in by the developers themselves, will always prevent LLMs from being truly funny. Because a lot of time, humor requires playing with limits.

So : am I wrong, could LLMs ever get there. And (darkest timeline) is it possible it goes the other way ? That LLMs gradually condition people to a smoothed-out, risk-free version of humor, and that becomes the new mainstream ?
