Fun Techtivities in September!
The September school holidays are here! Whether you’re looking for a quick family day out, a cultural adventure, or a tech-inspired evening under the lights, this month offers plenty of ways to recharge and reconnect. From interactive exhibitions to playful installations, September is the perfect time to slow down, explore, and make memories together.
But first, a little #TechNews to set the tone! AI are man-made, but can AI truly be funny? 🤔 While machines can crack jokes, the question remains: Can they understand humour the way humans do?
AI is getting better at generating jokes, puns, and even stand-up routines, but its sense of humour still lacks the depth and nuance of human creativity. Experts argue that while AI can mimic humour, it doesn't fully grasp the context, emotions, and cultural cues that make something truly funny. 😂
Is AI on the road to becoming a comedian? Find out more here!
Now that we’re all set, keep scrolling on to discover techtivities that you and your family can indulge in this month! ✨
