GG5 for the sense split. It has 5 senses but two are for 面白くない. 中辞典 has 3 senses too.
  Comments: 
There's an upcoming article in the Japan Times about GG5, and the writer (rightly) contrasts its entry for 面白い with the one here.
GG5 has "interesting" as the 3rd sense, but I see in the Tatoeba sentences (326 of them) that it is the most common.
I'm going to approve then, then reopen it, as I want to fix some xrefs and tag a few sentences.
