Good question. I gave GPT-4 the transcript of the video as well as three screenshots and asked it to characterize both the product and the language used. You can see the full exchange here:
It does pretty well overall, and it notes the use of “puns and wordplay.” However, its explanations of several of the jokes are wrong. For example, the last one, about the word 帽子 (hat), has nothing to do with the sound of the word まぁ (well). Rather, it is a play on two meanings of the verb kaburu, which appears in the previous line.
In previous tests of GPT-4’s language competence, I have often seen it hallucinate about how words are pronounced. It’s very good explaining the meanings of words, but spelling and pronunciation—probably because of its token-based training—are weaknesses.
