Frantz's LinkedIn Pulse essay laying out what 18 months of pointing GenAI at affection (not efficiency) has produced. Tour of the multi-engine humour stack — Gemini, Claude, GPT, Veo, Hailuo-02, Luma Ray-2 and Pixverse — and how they're orchestrated so a single 30-second joke gets a personalised face-conditioned image, a cloned voice with lip-sync, and a punchline that lands in the cared-for's culture. Walks through the 3-judge AI panel (Gemini, GPT-4o-mini, Claude Haiku) that screens every candidate for warmth and elder-friendliness, the cross-cultural prompting that lets Hindi and Russian humour feel Hindi and Russian, and why the answer to the title is "not yet, but closer than most expect." Closes on what's shipping next: expressive TTS, a shared humour memory per cared-for, and the funny@myjokes.ai inbox where carers can suggest the seed of a future joke just by emailing a photo.

Anyone — subscriber or not — can now help shape our humour engine and get something back. Head to vote.myjokes.ai, rate at least 10 jokes in the pool, and a simple form unlocks: add a caption and/or an image (a face photo makes it personal) and we'll generate a one-off video joke, emailed to you and downloadable on the spot. One free video per email. Your ratings directly tune which jokes our AI prioritises for the people they're made for.

myjokes.ai is now multilingual — 10 languages across 15 markets — with a one-click switcher in the top nav. More importantly, the joke generator now writes natively in your cared-for's language — no more translated-feeling punchlines.

Swiss-French, West-African-French, and native Hindi voice clones rolling in next.
