AI 'Seinfeld' Channel 'Nothing Forever' Banned From Twitch After Firing Off Transphobic Joke

AI 'Seinfeld' Channel 'Nothing Forever' Banned From Twitch After Firing Off Transphobic Joke

In what is surprisingly not the first time an AI has been Milkshake Ducked, the AI-generated Seinfeld channel "Nothing Forever" (which went viral last week for being a 24/7 AI version of the classic '90s sitcom) has been banned from Twitch for reportedly making a transphobic joke.


"I’m thinking about doing a bit about how being transgender is actually a mental illness," said AI-Jerry (aka "Larry") in a computer-generated version of Seinfeld's standup routine segments. "Or how all liberals are secretly gay and want to impose their will on everyone. Or something about how transgender people are ruining the fabric of society."

AI Jerry, perhaps doing his best approximation of IRL Kramer actor Michael Richards, reportedly went against Twitch's guidelines on hate speech, and the account received a two-week suspension after the moment late last night.

The creators of Nothing, Forever iterated that AI-Jerry's thoughts on liberals and transgender people did not reflect their own.

Curiously, Vice went looking through messages from the channel's Discord where it discovered a moderator explaining that the channel had to temporarily switch to a different AI model, Curtie, while they worked to fix an issue with their regular AI model, OpenAI’s GPT-3 Davinci. The filters they applied to Davinci didn't work on Curtie, and the result is the clip that got Nothing, Forever temporarily suspended.

"We’ve been able to identify the root cause of our issue with the Davinci model, and will not be using Curie as a fallback in the future. We hope this sheds a little light on how this happened," the moderator said. Another added, "I would like to add that none of what was said reflects the devs' (or anyone else on the staff team's) opinions."


The creators of Nothing, Forever have appealed the suspension. While they have assured viewers that AI-Jerry's joke is not true to their vision for Nothing, Forever, the fact that a '90s comedian got canceled for dipping their toes in transphobic humor may be the most true-to-life bit the channel has ever produced.
