Oo this reminds me. One of my favourite sci-fi novels is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
In it, it depicts the growth of a nascent AI from its attempts at understanding humor. The AI befriends a technician and gets the human to rate its own crafted jokes.
Eventually the AI gets really good at telling jokes, and becomes sentient as a result.
It was a very fun take on AI gaining sentience, highly recommended!
