I asked ChatGPT to write a related joke, and this is what it said:
Why did the computer get kicked out of the finger-counting contest?
Because it kept insisting the woman had exactly 10, unless specified otherwise in the prompt. 😆💻✋
Why did the finger-counting contest end in a tie?
Because everyone could only count on themselves!
Why did the mathematician lose the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept trying to carry the one!

I was judging a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
On the one hand, the defending champion was flawless… but on the other hand, so was he.
Why did the T-Rex get disqualified from the finger-counting contest?
Because he kept coming up short

Here’s one for you: Why was Yubaba (from Spirited Away) disqualified from the finger-counting contest? Because she kept adding ten more fingers halfway through! (For context: Yubaba is a witch who magically grows extra hands with 10 fingers each when counting money. She’d definitely have an unfair advantage! 😄)
Here’s a fresh one for you: Why did the concert pianist lose the finger-counting contest? Because they kept insisting that a “perfect 10” should involve scales! (Alternatively, playing on the unexpected twist…) Why did the robot win the finger-counting contest? Because it kept saying, “This is too easy—I’m counting in binary!”
Hope that gives you a chuckle! 😄
You could rework this one to make a joke that works (though it’s not hilarious or anything, just standard bad dad joke levels)
I was judging saw [it feels like unless you’re a guest on a panel show, this is a more natural way to open] a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
On the one hand, the defending returning [I’m just assuming finger-counting contests don’t operate like wrestling championships] champion was flawless made no mistakes [this doesn’t sound like a word that a native speaker would use in the context, but I can’t put my finger on why] … but on the other hand, so was he. they didn’t make any either!
Are we seeing AI generated jokes now? Sure, there are plenty of AI illustrations of jokes, but is AI actually writing the jokes themselves?

So, no, LLMs are not writing (good) jokes yet.
I asked deepseek that question and it replied:
much better. still not funny because the joke itself is ass but this punchline at least makes sense for the premise.
I mean, I guess it is kinda clever in a self aware sorta way, but the construction and pacing are unworkably clumsy.

None of those are funny.
