But these attempts have mostly failed. AI experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to. Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music. The word pop can be a way of saying popular music。 or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for puter intelligence to understand. Allison Bishop is a puter scientist and she also performs standup edy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay close to a pattern, but not pletely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This is a great challenge for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny. Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job safety as a edy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to bee a fulltime edy writer because it meant he wouldn39。t be replaced by a machine, she added. Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University39。s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable (敘述的), especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (諷刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn39。t, and they may use it where it39。s not suitable, he said. Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny, he added.（1）What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1? 39。 influence on the scientific development.39。 challenges of making sense of humor. scientists39。 devotion to technical skills. scientists39。 concern about AI39。s development.（2）What are examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 intended to do? robots do poorly in funny work robots aren39。t as intelligent as humans language is plex and changeable language can39。t be taught in a set pattern（3）What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph? will make no difference. may be
