INT. OFFICE - DAY
JEN, an optimistic coder, sits at her desk cluttered with markers, notepads, and a laptop. DAVID, a skeptic software engineer, leans against her cubicle partition.
JEN: You know, I've been thinking, what if we make an AI with a sense of humour?
DAVID: (laughs) Jen, we're not writing a sitcom here. We're coding an AI, an actual Artificial Intelligence.
JEN: I mean, why not? Our AI could make people laugh while solving their problems. They'd love it.
DAVID: That's like asking a toaster to tell you a joke when it pops your bread.
JEN: (grinning) Wouldn't that be awesome, though!
DAVID: (rolls his eyes) Trust you to find the fun in a toaster...
JEN: But seriously, imagine an AI with a good sense of humour. Would not only make our day-to-day work more enjoyable, but it might make people less resistant to AI technology.
DAVID: It's a nice idea, Jen. But humour is a complex human trait. I mean, I can't even understand half of your puns.
JEN: (laughs) Well, that's because they're too 'advanced' for you, David!
DAVID: (grins) And there we go, a taste of how bizarre AI humour could get.
They both chuckle as Jen goes back to her coding and David walks off, shaking his head but smiling.
