Nothing, Foreveran AI-generatedSeinfeldshow that broadcasts onTwitch, was recently banned temporarily from the platform following the accidental broadcast of transphobic content. The show is a pixel-animated version of the classic nineties sitcom that’s written entirely by a computer. The channel it broadcasts from, watchmeforever, has about 190,000 followers and broadcasted nearly every day until February 4th when the incident occurred. The popular AI used to generate the dialogue, ChatGPT, trains from content all over the internet and seemingly called out trans people during the segment ofNothing, Foreverwhere Larry does stand up at the Laugh Factory just like Jerry Seinfeld would at the end ofSeinfeld.
Nothing, Foreverwas created by Skyler Harte and Brian Habersberger and was initially released on July 02, 2025. The two met viaTeam Fortress 2before Harte would have the idea for the show in 2019.Nothing, Foreverisan homage toSeinfeld, with the main characters named Larry, Yvonne, Fred, and Zoltan instead of Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer. The writing manages to capture the tone of its inspiration well, as the awkward pacing of AI-generated speech matches the awkward and dry humor ofSeinfeld. But when a computer is left alone to generate content, it can’t be aware of what’s appropriate to say.

Twitch bannedtheSeinfeldspoofNothing, Foreverfor 14 days over the jokes made by Larry at the expense of trans people, blaming them, liberals, and people with mental illness for ruining society. The incident occurred after errors where characters didn’t appear in the hour leading up to Larry’s stand-up prompted the watchmeforever team to switch its content filter model from Davinci, ChatGPT’s more capable filter, to Curie, a filter that emphasizes speed. When the show came back on, the chat had “nonsense mode” enabled, where characters don’t use context or respond intelligibly, but spew random words and generally behave chaotically, and that’s when Larry popped off with his tirade.
The creators ofNothing, Foreverassured everyone that none of what Larry said reflects any of the opinions of those working on the show. The hurtful remarks were broadcast as a result of the switch to the less sophisticated content filter, which they made in an attempt to keep the show running without any downtime. This is the first instance the team has encountered when theAI-generated contentwas truly inappropriate, and it said that it was embarrassed by the mistake which led to the technical error.
TheNothing, Foreverteam has appealed the ban and said that regardless of the result, the show will eventually return and that it will use the downtime towork on improving the AIand ensuring nothing like this ever happens again.
