At least to me, the difference is that one is ostensibly an explanation of how the AI arrived at the joke, the other is a post-hoc explanation of the joke.

You can be pretty sure the AI isn't doing a post-hoc explanation because the only writable memory it has access to is the tokens it has already output - i.e. the explanation of the joke. Everything else is reset between every token.

As long as it comes up with different jokes different times you ask it (assuming randomness in sampling) - how could it.
