10 Energy Modeling Jokes and Memes featuring ChatGPT
Recently, someone used ChatGPT to create 10 Energy Modeling jokes and challenged someone to create better jokes
As the funniest person in the industry, definitely the only instructor with a sense of humor, I am obligated to accept the challenge.
For years, I have collected memes regarding energy modeling and performance design. I will start sharing them if this gets enough views.
There are many people in this industry who frown upon humor and are cynical about everything (I’m definitely not talking to you IESVE). I'll get some disparaging comments about various things.
Lucky for me, people want an instructor with a sense of humor!
(Edit in Bold) Industrywide: Maybe if we could loosen up, we could attract some talent? And keep it?
I'll start with a meme:

ChatGPT isn't allowed to discuss anything that might be offensive. The key to humor is revealing a small bit of truth. Consider the old adage, 'The Truth Hurts,' and it follows that ChatGPT can't really be that funny. It's definitely not capable of Borat-style humor.
