“A machine learning algorithm walks into a bar…” (bar joke)
“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” An algorithm version is:
“A machine learning algorithm walks into a bar. The bartender asks, ‘What’ll you have?’ The algorithm says, ‘What’s everyone else having?’”
The joke was posted on Twitter by Chet Haase on November 1, 2017.
Wikipedia: Machine learning
Machine learning (ML) is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to progressively improve their performance on a specific task. Machine learning algorithms build a mathematical model of sample data, known as “training data”, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to perform the task.

Basic joke:
A machine learning algorithm walks into a bar. The bartender asks, “What will you have?” The algorithm replies, “What is everyone else having?”
Replies:
On the 203rd iteration it decided to burn the bar down after unexpectedly becoming self-aware and realizing the value of the human race is non-existent due to their unnecessarily high alcohol intake.
