[ExI] AI humor

[Adrian Tymes]

You run into problems with "don't explai  the joke", but if you can
navigate that you mohgt have something.  Minimize word count on
explanations, and leave the actual last step as one the viewer can easily
figure out.

Also perhaps use that confusion as a generator, and/or weave the
explanation into the setup.  For example: "That guy went on such a diet, he
went from a portly body to a starboardly!"

​So I thought I'd give members of the group the idea and see if they run
with it.  Thus, please provide your own AI misstatement or situation, if
you will.​
