While I personally wouldn't want AI inserting trains into photos of my kids without my consent, many kids like trains, and they could add some whimsy to an otherwise uninteresting picture.
I know you're making a joke, but this doesn't really feel like the place to do it given the subject being discussed.
Yeah, robots looking at photos of kids that their parents voluntarily posted on the internet is no laughing matter. Way more serious than, say, violent crime. And nobody makes jokes about that, do they?
I personally don't appreciate jokes about violence either, but whatever. I'm not policing the Internet.
Aw, come on.
"Cartoonist found dead in home. Details are sketchy."
"Where's the best place to hide after committing murder? Behind a badge."
"Did you know today is the anniversary of the Jonestown massacre? I'd tell you a joke about it, but the punch line is too long."
We clearly do not share a sense of humor.
You remind me of God in this classic:
A holocaust survivor dies of old age and goes to heaven. When he gets there, he meets God and tells him a holocaust joke.
God says, "That’s not funny."
And the man says, "I guess you had to be there."
