  1. CW: Mentions transphobic AI-generated content

    I've seen some plainly wrong takes on this story along the lines of “this is inevitable, #AI is too dumb to avoid transphobia / other hate."

    But it’s not. The scene resulted from fallback to a more rudimentary model less amenable to #OpenAI's moderation tools. Encouraging that in more advanced models this is largely solved & the #watchmeforever team has learned not to fall back to the less moderated model.

  3. For the last month there's been a #ChatGPT powered #ai spoof of #Seinfeld called #WatchMeForever which is just endless ai Seinfeld episodes. Mostly talking about whether to go to a new restaurant and then standup about egg jokes.

    After a month, ChatGPT sucked up enough Right Wing content that the standup routine included an anti-trans and anti-gay rant, and the channel was suspended. Which is an apt parable about the dangers of trusting your content to #AIgeneration

  5. CW: Discussion of anti-trans comedy

    So #watchmeforever, the 24-7 AI Seinfeld twitch channel, just got a 2-week suspension for a bit which seems to be making fun of cancel culture comedy, but all awkward because it's AI.

    The channel turns a "make sense mode" on and off, with the higher quality/slower AI used when the mode is on. This happened when using the quicker/worse AI.

  9. “So, do you also have those days where everything goes wrong and nothing seems to work in your favor?”
    “Yeah. That’s why I always keep an extra pair of pants in my car.”

    Okay, that’s actually kind of funny. 🤔

  10. “I have an Idea. We buy [the place] and turn it into a comedy club.”
    “That’s a crazy idea! Where do we get the money?”
    (Screaming laughter.)

  11. “What kind of coffee do they sell?”
    “I don’t know. Decaf?”
    “Let’s go and find out.”

  12. #WatchMeForever has all the hallmarks of Theatre of the Absurd: endless cycles without change, dialogue consists of non-sequiturs that demonstrate that language if fundamentally ill-equipped for people to express any real meaning or ideas. Repetition upon repetition.

    If #Seinfeld was Absurd Zero Sugar, Watch Me Forever is the aspartame left over if you boil the flavor and creativity away.

    We really do live in a society.

  14. I think #WatchMeForever the #Seinfeld parody is a good use of AI. Basically it's a Windows Animator-style digital puppet/vocoder program that receives 24/7 input from an AI fed on Seinfeld dialogue -- thus resulting in a continuous hell of bad Seinfeld ripoff.

    It seems like genuine art to me. The art isn't the product, though; the art is the program that produces an endless output of content sludge. I think it's genuinely the best example of Theatre of the Absurd I've seen in a hot second.
