Generative AI is out of control: Nothing, Forever is a Seinfeld spoof about nothing... forever
https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/03/generative_ai_seinfeld_spoof/
AI-generated spoof Seinfeld episodes for eternity.
This is the haunting promise of the Twitch channel watchmeforever officially launched last week by Mismatch Media, which claims to be about "experimental forms of television shows, video games, and more, through generative... and other machine learning technologies."
Twitch is a good place for "experimental" TV because that's exactly what it is. Viewers can interact with livestreamed video in real time, though the vast bulk of broadcasters use it to show off their skill (or lack thereof) at video games. There are, however, some "visionary" streamers out there and, while we hate to admit it, watchmeforever may be one of them.
The "show" is called Nothing, Forever and stars the ensemble cast of Larry Feinberg, Yvonne Torres, Fred Kastopolous, and Zoltan Kakler.
Sound familiar? While fans of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm may be among the first to admit that the Larry David sitcoms aren't really about anything at all, at least they are hilarious by virtue of the characters' mundane and inept interactions.
Nothing, Forever has no such saving grace. Why? "Much of our generative content is provided through OpenAI's GPT-3," says Mismatch Media. In fact, outlines for Seinfeld episodes have become a favorite subject among those tinkering with the more consumer-facing ChatGPT so it's easy to see where the genesis of this bizarre project came from.

Nothing, Forever is a show about nothing, that happens forever. Kinda like popular sitcoms of the past, except that it never stops.
Nothing, Forever is always-on, runs 365 days of the year, and delivers new content every minute.
Everything you see, hear, or experience (with the exception of the artwork and laugh track) is always brand new content, generated via machine learning and AI algorithms.
