So far as I can tell, AIs do not laugh. Ever.

I mean, you can hook one up to a speaker, and get it to emit the sound. Or you can ask it to write a joke, and it will. But they don't laugh. They don't find things funny.

As people anthropomorphize AIs, this is going to be a difference. AIs are internally different than humans. They have no intrinsic sense of humor.

I'm not sure how far to take this, but I thought it was an interesting observation.
