AI Generated Seinfeld runs 24/7 on Twitch
- amai 4y ago"This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service."
- simonw 4y agoIt's weirdly compelling - partly because the chat participants are so enthusiastic, but mainly because once I started watching it I didn't want to risk missing the tiny chance that it might actually deliver a good joke! The animation style is pretty delightful.
- aww_dang 4y agoI thought they were bots?
- flangola7 4y agoThe chat is other Twitch users. Which at this point in time should still be mostly humans.
- zzbzq 4y agoOn streams with high view counts I firmly believe they've never been majority human. They're not even AI, just dumb bots that spam whatever the other bots are spamming
- SeanAnderson 4y agoIf you have even the slightest actionable proof I am confident advertisers would pay large sums to know the actual reach of their ads. Until then your firm beliefs come across as conspiratorial.
- aww_dang 4y agoAre ad buys based upon chat activity? I would assume more traditional metrics would be involved.
- jamilton 4y agoTo what end? Most big streamers have a low tolerance for total spam.
- Waterluvian 4y agoWhen Bob Ross was new on Twitch, I had the same experience with the chat. An entire culture emerged in a weekend and it was so wholesome and fun. gg, RIP Devil.

- TekMol 4y agoI saw the name "Seinfeld" a thousand times here and there on the web. But never looked it up. Now I took a peek for the first time. First video that pops up is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgFmP03biw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYgFmP03biw So it is something like Al Bundy? A soap opera? If someone makes an Al Bundy version, it certainly should be called "AI Bundy".
- Waterluvian 4y agoIt’s a show about nothing. Or rather, it’s a Sitcom where they take mundane things in everyday life and obsess over them comedically. Some people find it doesn’t withstand the test of time and if you never saw it in the 90/00s you might not really care for it.
- chungy 4y agoBesides being adopted by the marketing for the show, "show about nothing" was never really accurate. It was lifted from when George pitched the show-in-a-show (season 4's running plot). Especially in the earlier seasons, what Seinfeld is about should be apparent: There's a little standup skit performed by Jerry Seinfeld, with the usual ridiculous circumstances you'd hear in a standup skit. The episode that follows shows exactly how Jerry "came up with" the idea for the standup the episode opened with. Instead of "about nothing," Seinfeld was really about answering the question people often ask: "How did you come up with that?" Of course, as the show developed and real-life inspirations started to be exhausted, the show adopted more and more outlandish sitcom ideas that weren't rooted in the real-life experiences of the writers. The standup openings were abandoned as well.
- canadiantim 4y agoAs a longtime fan of Seinfeld I found that very insightful and accurate. Thanks
- Waterluvian 4y agoI think some misinterpret “about nothing” too literally. The entire show is about the minutiae of life, or to connect the dots more clearly, about “nothing important.” Indeed, the show gets a bit “meta” when it makes a copy of itself inside itself and is also about nothing.
- MexicanJoe 4y agoIf only it was funny
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- zuminator 4y agoIt makes me think of the early days of cinema. It took a while for things to fall into place. Even things that are considered masterpieces like "Metropolis" are a bit weird in contemporary terms; set pieces go on way too long, serious moments sometimes come off as comical, actors stare into the camera, etc. It's not hard to imagine that the non-masterpiece run of the mill stuff was nigh unwatchable in today's terms. So "Nothing Forever" isn't funny now but I'd be surprised if something like it is more than 5 years away from watchable.
- mrob 4y ago>actors stare into the camera I think this should be used more often. In modern film it's mostly used for forth wall breaking as a cheap joke, but the acclaimed Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu often used the technique for a kind of "VR" effect, to make the viewer feel like they're present in the scene. The characters address the camera directly but they don't show any awareness of the camera. If you haven't already, I recommend watching "Tokyo Story" to see how it's done. It places highly on many "best movies of all time" lists, and despite the slow pacing and lack of action I found it surprisingly compelling.
- twostorytower 4y agoI am guessing it wouldn’t be hard for an AI voice generator to impersonate the actor’s voices given the possible sample data available. I’m sure it’s not long before we have completely new AI generated deep faked episodes of beloved TV shows.
- jaytagdamian 4y agoI'm surprised it isn't using something like https://fakeyou.com/ https://fakeyou.com/ already.
- echelon 4y agoThanks for the shout out! I'm the founder of FakeYou, and there's a reason we've been hiring game engineers and 3D artists for the last year. We've got a really cool product coming soon. :)
- chii 4y agofaking a real voice could be construed as fraud unless they have prior permission from the actor. Their likeness cannot just be copied and used. At the very least, trademark infringement?
- cpeterso 4y agoSomething like Podcast.ai that generates fake interviews between celebrities. There is plenty of Seinfeld audio to train a voice generator. https://podcast.ai/about https://podcast.ai/about
- chihuahua 4y agoThis is probably the first time I've encountered something where "It's so bad that it's good" makes sense to me. I could not stop laughing. The exterior shot with the Seinfeld-inspired music. The laugh track at inappropriate times. They talk about going to a sushi restaurant, and when they've finally agreed to go, they sit down and don't go anywhere. This is like the alien scientists who want to bring back humans after they've gone extinct, and end up cloning chimps. Bravo!
- Taywee 4y agoThe crappiness is unexplainably funny. Jerry speaking the cues in the comedy bits and saying "pause for applause", Elaine clipping through Jerry, George talking to the fridge. I lost it when it cut to an indoor shot with nobody in it for 2 minutes and then cut away.
- throwbadubadu 4y agoWow, I thought also the super spammy lol chat is AI generated as well, but it seems people find this really funny? I mean most of the ""jokes"" do not even have a bad punch line. That's the only thing I can lol at now, why wtf?
- wildrhythms 4y agoThe chat collectively playing in to the nonsense is all part of the experience.
- williamcotton 4y agoMST3K, Rocky Horror, The Room, etc.
- lordgroff 4y agoIt IS the experience. Without the chat I would have checked out of the nonsense in a minute but the audience reacting to the endless non sequiturs truly made this an art.
- specproc 4y agoCan someone clever do this with David Lynch, please?
- wpietri 4y agoIf you haven't seen it, you might enjoy this "AI generated, never-ending discussion between Werner Herzog and Slavoj Žižek": https://infiniteconversation.com/ https://infiniteconversation.com/
- sho 4y agoSo, would anyone like to take a stab at the stack/process/setup enabling this? Because I seriously wouldn't even know where to start.
- chii 4y agoi dunno how they do the animations. Haven't watched enough to see if it repeats, or it is generated dynamically. The script is probably written by just asking chatGPT (for a script). Might even have some prompts that seed the script. Then the output of the chatGPT is fed into a TTS (text to speech) and played. I think the laugh track is randomly played (or played in between different scripts that GPT generates). And i can't tell if the music is generated, or just repeats and is only for some scenes. Quite genius actually.
- Salgat 4y agoFor the animations, they could probably write it with traditional artificial intelligence. It's as simple as having events that trigger based on whos talking, such as sit on couch, walk over to kitchen, wave hands while talking, etc.
- chii 4y agoRight, it might be possible to have chatGPT produce a set of movement scripts that run as part of the text of the show. Tho i would imagine trying to get that working is a lot more work than just randomly choosing a set of pre-animated videos. I suppose if the video doesn't need to sync with the text, then you can create a large bank of them, and choose based on keywords from the text.
- hadlock 4y agoScenes and animations seem to be picked at random. Just watched George microwave something in the kitchen while having a conversation about something totally different. They really nailed it. Seinfeld is truly a show about nothing. Thinking back to countless scenes of Kramer wandering into the kitchen to pour a bowl of cereal and spout some nonsense that would loop back on itself in the last scene of the episode in some tangential way
- tedunangst 4y agoIt's weird that the chat seems to be running five seconds ahead of the video.
- ada1981 4y agoI assumed the chat was informing the AI in some Way, so if there is a consensus or popular phrase, it gets worked in.
- boingy 4y agoIt's probably that your video stream is more delayed than the chatters. On mobile Twitch has a huge delay especially on iOS which can be improved by clicking the Settings icon and choosing Low Latency player. Will still be more delayed than people on desktop.
- AgentME 4y agoIf you enable low-latency mode in Twitch, then you get the video about 5-15 seconds earlier (at the cost of that any minor connection interruptions may interrupt the video more).
- DethNinja 4y agoIt wouldn't surprise me if commenters were bots too.
- maxwelljoslyn 4y agoSuch a fascinating artifact.
- alphabet9000 4y agoso many nice subtle details
- jedberg 4y agoWhy does everyone in Jerry's kitchen use the microwave?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- blockinator 4y agoI guess it's simpler than animating everyone constantly eating his food like in the actual show
- saurik 4y agoSo, recently, I accidentally stumbled into an almost bottomless pit of romantic comedies on an amazon prime "channel" called PixL. It has a ridiculously large quantity of low-value sort-of-OK content that all kind of bleeds together if you squint. I watch a lot of TV/movies, and it is mostly something to deal with me feeling lonely (which is probably a bad thing to fix, actually: better I get so sad that I quit computers and go into the real world to find another person... but that's a more fundamental problem). I have long said that what I really want are 3-star movies, as I am really just using the people in the movie to tie up the tiny bit of my brain that tries to process the existence of people to be less lonely: I don't want it to be so bad as to be frustrating or so good that I actually want to watch it, as that would be distracting. The problem, though, is it feels more like being at an airport or on a street than around your classmates or friends: people come and go and you never get to know them that deeply, as a movie is only an hour and a half. Watching multi-season TV shows thereby works a lot better against being lonely, and I think a lot of people essentially use sitcoms like this: they have seen the show a million times and continue to watch it on repeat as part of their brain has established a parasocial relationship with the characters. But, the problem I have doing that, is that watching the same content on repeat also causes this sense of deja vu and gives the world an air of implausibility. It is fun to be there for the new stuff, but hearing the old stories again doesn't convey the same feeling of "this is happening" (as false as we all know even that is ;P). But so now like... generating an infinite amount of content for a pseudo-sitcom that is maybe even just sort of OK--as that's what the AI can manage to muster up until the end of time--might frankly be fine, as I'm not trying to really watch it anyway? It then just needs to be close enough to what my subconscious expects out of a person so that I get the feeling of "I'm watching these people I pretend to know" (though it would be interesting if one's subconscious is better at deciding it is all fake than one's consciousness is ;P "thankfully", TV is already a bit fake). And, so, maybe it works better if instead of being a new lame sitcom it is a lame extended universe of a great sitcom (such as Seinfeld), so you will have already watched it actively enough to train your own brain that these are people in your life who matter to you and then it is easier to use the seasons of that sitcom to fine tune an AI into generating more content in that same genre / story for you to begin spending the rest of your life not really exactly watching an infinite stream of generated extended seasons.
- saurik 4y agoPeople who find this interesting might also find the work being done recently by The Companion--a service that specializes in providing fan service (writers panels, behind the scenes stuff, etc.) for popular science fiction content--with some researchers from Google and the showrunner of Stargate on extended episodes for Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. So like, the "obvious problem" with this content for Seinfeld is the "acting" (care of the TTS engine) sucks. Honestly, are the scripts bad? Maybe, sure! But actors actually do a job that can sometimes be ignored by filling in all of the subtle details that make the character the character and even then make awkward interactions suddenly "work". In the extended work from the Google AI on Stargate, what they did was get some people from the actual cast of the show to be willing to do a table read of the AI-generated scripts (and the AI was then told to limit what it generated to using the actors they had). And OMG sometimes it was hilarious nonsense and yet it was FUN, because the actors were kind of trying to make it all work, and they were able to lean on their backgrounds doing those characters for a decade and all of the hard-ish stuff of comedic timing but also the easy-ish stuff of how a basic human interaction works. When we get to the point of being able to have AI actors easily pull off some of those things--having text to speech that infers enough context to know the correct emotions to apply in addition to the appropriate timing and stress as opposed to merely the correct pronunciation (which is always where we seem to be working, practically)--this stuff is going to rock, and it will be scary how well even shitty scripts do (as it isn't like many sitcoms--not saying Seinfeld, but you can easily scrape the bottom of the barrel on formulaic shows people have pumped out--have very good writing to begin with).
- BizarroLand 4y agoWait until we have multilayered AI models. One to generate the 3d scene. One for the lighting. Three for cameras. One for each actor acting out the given script along with a set amount of "improvising" and "randomness", one to generate background royalty free music based on the emotional context of the scene, one to serve as a Foley artist for environment sounds. The equivalent computer power of a medium sized bitcoin farm running everything with the only humans being the writers, the IT people running the systems, a director watching each take as it is rendered live to pick the best ones, and an editor to slap all of the takes together. That's probably technically possible now, if not actually implemented. Another 15 years or so and kids will be rendering full movies in the basement and watching them with their friends.

- GaggiX 4y agoIf anyone likes the weirdness of artificial intelligence-generated content on Twitch, they will probably also enjoy Vedal's Neuro-sama: https://twitch.tv/vedal987 https://twitch.tv/vedal987 The channel does not run 24/7 because Vedal is always monitoring Neuro-sama's output (things can go very wrong when you let an AI interact with a Twitch chat). Also, Neuro-sama plays different games such as Osu, Minecraft, Pokemon. I don't know about the others, but Osu's AI was built by him (probably RL), so he put a lot of engineering effort into it.

- robga 4y agoWriting the script for a Seinfeld scene was one of the first use cases I tried on chatgpt last year. I kept a copy. There is some sort of intersection between A Show About Nothing and an AI that creates empty responses from everything. INT. MONK'S CAFE - DAY Jerry, George, and Elaine are sitting at a table. Kramer enters and sits down. Kramer: Hey, guys. Jerry: Hey, what's up, Kramer? Kramer: I've been having some trouble with this new Microsoft Teams thing at work. I need to use it for a video conference but I don't know how. George: (sarcastically) Oh no, not Microsoft Teams. That's the end of the world. Elaine: (laughing) Come on, George. It's not that bad. Jerry: Yeah, it's not rocket science, Kramer. Just click on the icon, join the meeting, and turn on your webcam. Kramer: (frustrated) I've tried that, Jerry. But then all these different tabs and options pop up and I don't know what to do. Elaine: (sympathetically) It can be overwhelming at first. But just take it one step at a time and you'll figure it out. Kramer: (sighing) I guess you're right. Jerry: (joking) And if all else fails, just hold up a piece of paper with your face on it to the webcam. (audience laughs) George: (serious) Actually, that's not a bad idea. (audience laughs) Kramer: (smiling) Thanks for the advice, guys. I'll give it another try. (Kramer exits the cafe) Jerry: (to George and Elaine) I think Kramer is going to have a tough time with Microsoft Teams. Elaine: (laughing) Oh, I have no doubt. (audience laughs) (end scene)

- urbandw311er 4y agoGreat. Now I’m going to be haunted by a recurring dystopian vision of the future in which all content (even broadcast TV) is pumped out this way to maximise profits. Humans won’t use their brains for creativity anymore. Instead, new ideas will be seeded deep inside a neural network somewhere, and our reactions will be monitored and used as one constant feedback loop. Until we are ultimately just sat drooling and giggling 24/7 at some optimised computer generated content buffered by lucrative advertising.
- rubidium 4y agoThat was my immediate reaction to seeing chatGPT. Any digital content, fully customized, can be created with minimal human input. The quality of the content is still crap, but that will improve with time. And the audience getting dumber to think it’s fine will speed up the process.

- oakwhiz 4y agoJust heard something to the effect of "I just heard about this new kind of restaurant where all the food is Chinese. You can order anything you want and it will be Chinese." Amazing
- thehappypm 4y ago“You know what would be funny? If we all dressed up like chickens on the way to the restaurant. That would really ruffle some feathers.”
- robga 4y agoThis may relate to one of the 170 Seinfeld episodes being entitled "The Chinese Restaurant". They spend almost the whole episode in line waiting for a table which which they're repeatedly told will be ready in "5, 10 minutes". Probably the training data included the scripts and titles.
- listenallyall 4y agoThat early episode is essentially the origin of "a show about nothing." When describing their idea for "Jerry" to the NBC execs, George uses that incident as an example. Summarizing: One of the episodes will just be four of them waiting for a table at a restaurant. Why would people watch that? Because it's on TV! Not yet... It's very meta because of course when you say it out loud it does sound horribly boring just like the NBC guy says. But the Seinfeld audience is aware that the Seinfeld characters (now the ones writing a sitcom about their personal experiences) actually experienced this situation, and to the Seinfeld audience, it was actually a very funny episode, therefore realizing that the Jerry audience would also find it funny.
- chrisco255 4y agoHow long until "Twitch Plays Sitcom Writer" (Twitch Plays Larry David?) where the chat audience votes on potential prompts for the AI to generate episodes about?
- ErneX 4y agoMan this is hilarious, the chat + the glitches make it even more so.
- danwee 4y agoIs this the beginning of the "interdimensional cable TV"? Instead of pulling content from other dimension, we'll be generating it though.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoTwitch was kinda already interdimensional cable. A former roomate and I would occasionally dive into the depths of twitch looking for unusual and interesting streams and we called it "watching interdimensional cable". There was some really wildly strange stuff out there. I toyed with building a tool to help find streams with the right je ne sais qua, but I never could quite beat our heuristic of just sorting by fewest viewers and scanning for things that looked like they might be good.
- jamilton 4y agoWonder how far you could get with ML plus a simple filter for games that are unlikely to be interesting. Something like "how strange is this stream title for Twitch" and "does this stream preview look like other stream previews that were interesting". Can neural networks detect je ne sais quoi and whimsy?
- highland586 4y agoI love how it got self-referential at one point

- brap 4y agoThis is hilarious, especially as a hardcore Seinfeld fan, but the thing that really cracks me up is the live reactions in the Twitch chat. I just wish they use AI to also get the voices right. Then maybe one day stable diffusion can be good enough to generate the video too...
- xena 4y agoI'd argue that the stylistic suck is the best part of this. It being so obviously fake makes you subconsciously lower your expectations and then when an actually good joke hits it throws you off guard and makes you laugh. Combined with the random laugh track, awkward pauses, and crappy animation it really stands out for itself and offers a unique viewing experience that you can't really have anywhere else. The voices need the be wrong because otherwise it's uncanny valley territory and therefore not funny.
- brap 4y agoValid point, but I don’t expect AI to be able to really pull off a believable stream of scenes in the foreseeable future. I think for at least the next few years it will still be off enough to be hilarious. The uncanny valley can actually add to that, in my opinion.

JERRY'S CAR - DAY Jerry and George are driving down the road, with Jerry behind the wheel. Jerry: (gazing at the cup holder) This car is such a piece of junk, it doesn't even have a proper cup holder. George: What are you talking about? It has a cup holder right there! Jerry: (skeptical) That's not a cup holder, that's just a little indentation in the dash. George: It's a cup holder, Jerry! I've used it a million times. Jerry: (sarcastically) Oh, well if you've used it, then it must be a proper cup holder. George: (defensive) Hey, I've never had a problem with it. Jerry: (exasperated) That's because you don't have any standards. A real cup holder should be able to hold a variety of cup sizes, not just the tiny little cups you drink out of. George: (scoffing) That's ridiculous, Jerry. Who needs a cup holder that big? Jerry: (serious) I do, George. I like to drink my coffee in a real cup. George: (rolling his eyes) You and your fancy coffee cups. Jerry: (smiling) Hey, I have standards, George. What can I say? George: (laughing) I guess that's what makes you, you. Jerry: (laughing) And that's what makes you, you. They both burst into laughter as the car pulls up to a stop light. End Scene.
