#2There's some code for parsing all Seinfeld scripts and putting them into a SQLite database [1] here.

#3IIRC, Seinfeld scripts have a very distinct style. Would be interesting to see whether an LLM can mimic it as well as some humans can.

#4This is so delightfully web 1.0

#5How are these generated? They seem to have errors that neither a computer nor a English-speaking human would make. They're sort of like how a child or a person unfamiliar with English might try to transcribe words they don't recognize:
>Dugan: That's Sam, the new girl in the counting.
...
>Sam: Everybody told what a catty shrude you are. Your horrible!

They can. There used to be a very nice animation with text to speech mimicking Seinfeld episodes.

I use the "A Seinfeld script about..." prompt as a test on my AI-site-generation project. It is really great at it (ChatGPT-3.5). There are definitely some misses but it's generally hilarious.

#8I love this. I picked one at random https://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheCigarStoreIndian.htm
I haven't seen this one, but it's great. The characters are so familiar you can construct the whole thing perfectly in your head, now I don't really need to see it. Although I can't picture Elaine's apartment. Was that a regular set?
The script is put together like a Swiss watch. Every line fits perfectly in place. Kudos to the craftsmen involved.

It’s technically back, but “with a new cast of characters and an original format different from that of Seinfeld” …

Why do you think these are generated? As far as I can tell this isn't a parody site. The domain was registered in 2003 and the design clearly reflects that era.
