Never-Ending AI-Generated 'Seinfeld' Spoof Has Nearly 171,000 Followers On Twitch

A never-ending spoof of Seinfeld generated by AI has attracted nearly 171,000 followers on Twitch. The stream, which first aired on December 14, has been playing non-stop ever since and is almost entirely generated by algorithms. It's titled Nothing, Forever, a reference to the '90s sitcom being the so-called "show about nothing." Created by Skyler Hartle and Brian Habersberger, the show uses a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms and cloud services to create a Seinfeld parody, using OpenAI's GPT-3 language model. Nothing, Forever features animated versions of the main Seinfeld cast, including Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer, but with dialogue that often doesn't make sense, characters who wander off aimlessly, and a badly-timed laugh track. Speaking about the project to Vice, Hartle said: "The actual impetus for this was it originally started its life as this weird, very, off-center kind of nonsensical, surreal art project.
