This is the essence of GPT. It perfectly captures style, but not substance.

I naturally read the jokes in Jimmy Fallon's voice, before knowing it was fine-tuned. It really takes talent like his to pull off jokes like this every night.

One of my favorite jokes from 30 Rock is when Liz is complaining to Jack about a relationship problem:

>Jack: You have more sexual hangups than an adult chat line run by Gilbert Gottfried.

>Liz: What?

>Jack: That was written by a computer program we're working on to replace you.

It's a joke with a funny idea, but it's just too convoluted to be funny to humans.

I'd quite like to see someone with genuinely excellent one liner delivery go through an entire set of these almost-a-joke-jokes, just to see the audience react.
I think the closest you can currently get is Seth Meyers' "Surprise Inspection" segment, you can watch it on YouTube.
