I asked it that and this is what it came up with
Why did the mathematician bring a ladder to the desert? Because they heard there was a "sine" wave happening, and they wanted to climb to the "peak" of the situation!

Why did the mathematician bring a ladder to the library? Because they heard the book on "Advanced Ladder Theory" was on the top shelf, and they wanted to climb up the ladder of knowledge!

Why did the mathematician bring a ladder to the bar on a rainy day? Because they heard the probability of meeting someone who loves obscure jokes was higher up there!

Why did the scarecrow start a podcast about crop circles? Because it wanted to finally get some "ear"-rational explanations for its field of expertise!

I wouldn't say the thread is bullshit. I don't doubt for a second that ChatGPT would respond with these when asked to come up with its own jokes.

That's exactly why I say that lol. It has all the components of a joke, but they don't quite work together. Like the AI picked up a common joke pattern but didn't quite get it right. This one is much worse. @1,260,171 (Green !BEERiVqJJw)

Did you prompt it with the question "why did the mathematician..." or did you give it more general instructions?
Maybe try something like this: "Tell me a joke about two tigers and an astronaut." Maybe it'll come up with something better if it's not as constrained in its response.
