To me the Seinfeld project was funny in the same way that Markov Chain generators often are: It was uncanny, absurd, and filled with non sequiturs. That's not to say there wasn't artistic merit in the project as a whole, but the model's contribution was only ever unintentionally funny and I never felt I was laughing with the model, but at it.

It wouldn't mean the same thing to give that treatment to a show like Full House or Family Matters.
