AI-driven perpetual Seinfeld falls into further ruin, its puppets stuck walking into a fridge for 'at least five days' before anyone fixed it

pcgamer.com:

Just in case that headline gave you psychological whiplash, let me try to explain. Nothing, Forever is an AI-generated Seinfeldlike (originally a direct parody, but those days are long-gone) that runs forever. Its earlier incarnation was banned from Twitch after it made a transphobic joke, after which it returned with a new cast of characters who were… less peppy than their counterparts.

Less interesting, too. At the time of writing, the neutered show has only around 100-200 viewers, a far cry from those halcyon glory days of its initial release where those numbers reached the thousands. Larry was swapped out for Leo Borges, the world's dullest blogger, and we were left with a hollow shell of what once was.

Then, as spotted by 404media, the show fell into even further ruin. Twitter user AnimeSerbia documented this decay: «The long forgotten AI Seinfeld Reboot is now down to 18 viewers. Both characters don't even say anything anymore and just stand still in complete silence,» they write. «There is a strange orange man that patrols the house silently. He disappears for minutes at a time only to reappear sitting on a couch.»

But that was just the start: Things quickly evolved from surreal and weird to 'something has gone terribly wrong'. 404media's Jason Koebler wrote, «The characters of AI Seinfeld have been walking into a refrigerator on a loop for at least five days. Creators are MIA … this is what the show is now, on loop.»

This gave the stream a fleeting rise in viewership, with old fans coming back to eulogise the once-great AI Seinfeld empire's decline, believing this to be its swan song—thinking it livestream abandonware. Shortly
