The God API (or, finding out which model is the funniest)
I've always thought comedy requires not just intelligence, but somehow the ability to read the room, have good timing, add twists and surprises. So one would think that LLMs would not be good at that because it's so sensory-rich. But they're actually quite funny.
Okay, let’s start with the least funny: CLAUDE. Just boring:
THE ALMIGHTY LAUNCHES PUBLIC API, CITES “UNBEARABLE BACKLOG” OF PRAYER REQUESTS
HEAVEN, THE CLOUD (The Original One) In a move that has stunned theologians and developers alike, God, LLC announced today the general availability of GOD-API v1.0, a RESTful interface allowing humans to submit prayers, complaints, and miracle requests directly, bypassing the legacy system of clasped hands and muttered bedtime monologues that has been in production since roughly 200,000 BC.
In second place it’s GEMINI
In a nicely designed pdf, Gemini wasn’t bad.
And our winner, the OG, Chat GPT!
The funniest. Here in its entirety:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
God Announces API
HEAVEN — In a move analysts are calling “the most significant cloud launch since clouds,” God today announced the release of the Divine Access API, giving humanity direct, programmable access to certain heavenly services previously available only through prayer, lightning, dreams, burning shrubbery, and the occasional mysterious coincidence.
The new API is designed to help manage an unprecedented volume of incoming requests, including but not limited to: parking spots, lottery numbers, sports outcomes, forgiveness, weather adjustments, vengeance, “just one sign,” and extremely specific sandwich-related miracles.
“Look, I love everybody,” said God, speaking from a region of light described by witnesses as “very high-resolution.” “But do you have any idea how many people ask Me to help them find their AirPods every day? I’m omnipotent, not your Bluetooth settings. The queue has gotten intense. This gives people direct access to the basics, and lets Me focus on earthquakes, newborns, sunsets, and trying to get dads to stop saying ‘while you’re down there’ when someone bends over.”
The Divine Access API will launch with several endpoints, including:
/blessings/request
Submit a blessing request. Standard response time: mysterious.
/signs/generate
Returns a symbolic event. May include birds, rainbows, oddly timed songs, or a receipt total of $11.11.
/forgiveness/apply
Now supports bulk operations. Recommended for New Year’s Eve, bachelor parties, and comment sections.
/weather/suggest
Allows users to request weather changes. Final approval subject to weddings, farmers, golf tournaments, and “the vibe.”
/purpose/lookup
Returns partial results only. Full documentation unavailable for character-building reasons.
God emphasized that the API will include strict rate limits.
“Some of you are going to try to automate gratitude,” God said. “Don’t. I will know.”
Current limitations include:
No requests to make your ex “realize what they lost.”
- Sports miracles are capped at one per franchise per century, unless you are the Detroit Lions, in which case the request is still under review.
- Prayers beginning with “I know I only call when I need something” will be routed to a slower legacy system.
- The API does not return lottery numbers, but may return “get a job.”
- Miracles requested in ALL CAPS will be deprioritized.
- The endpoint /smite/enemy is deprecated.
- Asking “What’s your plan for me?” more than six times per day returns HTTP 429: Too Many Existential Requests.
- All free-will conflicts will return 409: Humanity Did This To Itself.
Developers will also receive access to a sandbox environment known as Purgatory, where they can test requests without affecting production reality. Early testers described it as “mostly beige” and “surprisingly enterprise.”
When asked whether the API would replace traditional prayer, God was clear.
“No,” He said. “Prayer still works. Meditation still works. Kindness still works. Calling your mother still works. This is just for people who need JSON to feel seen.”
The Divine Access API is expected to roll out globally, though God warned that documentation may remain “deliberately poetic.”
“Faith,” He added, “has always had terrible onboarding.”
