Friday Bonus

The TCN frequently has stories about how AI is being used in the transportation world. I thought I’d ask ChatGPT for a little help in creating this week’s Friday Bonus. I asked, “What’s funny about transportation?” Here’s the response. Some of these have nothing to do with transportation.

  • Traffic Woes: Why did the bicycle fall over?

    • Because it was two-tired!

  • Car Troubles: I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high.

    • She looked surprised.

  • Public Transportation:I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands and a steering wheel.

  • Parking Woes: Why don't scientists trust atoms?

    • Because they make up everything, even parking spaces.

  • Speed Limits: I asked the librarian if the library had any books on paranoia.

    • She whispered, "They're right behind you."

Hopefully, those using AI for more important purposes are getting better results!
