This 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 aft…

Perhaps, but it really seems like a show about nothing.

The original Seinfeld or this? I really feel this comment could go both ways, tbh.

Now losing all sarcasm-detection, but perhaps not everyone realizes that that ("a show about nothing") is one of the most common/core descriptions about the original Seinfeld. "That was the joke", *swoooosh* and so on, I guess.

See [1] for instance, but it's also mentioned much earlier in the introduction section.

The 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.

Wow, 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?

I 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.

Something like Podcast.ai that generates fake interviews between celebrities. There is plenty of Seinfeld audio to train a voice generator.

The original show was about how a comedian finds their jokes. Jerry said as much in a Reddit AMA.

If anyone likes the weirdness of artificial intelligence-generated content on Twitch, they will probably also enjoy Vedal's Neuro-sama: 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.

It's weird that the chat seems to be running five seconds ahead of the video.

It'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.
