I always thought those examples demonstrated ChatGPT has a deadpan(1) humor, not that it's bad at humor.

1: I had forgotten the term for this and Google didn't help, so, of course, I asked ChatGPT:

Q: "What is the used for the type of humor where someone makes a joke question, and the other replies in a serious and factual manner on purpose?"

A: 'The type of humor you are describing is often referred to as "deadpan" or "straight man" humor. It involves one person making a joke or humorous statement, and the other person responding in a serious, matter-of-fact manner, as if the statement were completely genuine. This creates a contrast between the humorous intent of the joke and the serious response, and can be very funny when done well. Deadpan humor is often used in comedy sketches and stand-up comedy routines, as well as in everyday conversations and interactions.'
