Well, maybe not humour in the end.
If we can't distinguish between machine and human-generated ideas how does it affect the patent system?
Yeah, the joke did have some insight to it. I'm a mathematician, where theorems cannot be patented. It makes things so much easier in case we'll start proving (some simple) theorems using computers in the near future.
Didn't mathematicians earn million-dollar rewards for their theorem - proving? :-)
