What is AI Seinfeld?
AI Seinfeld is a Twitch stream that broadcasts AI-generated content based on the funny ’90s sitcom by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, Seinfeld. The characters are rendered in chunky 3D pixels and look like they’re in the video game version of the show. The voices are also AI-generated, and while they have some similarities to the voices of the original actors, they end up sounding more like a computer autoreader.
This AI-generated version of Seinfeld It doesn’t really compare to the original, but you can definitely see the original show’s influence in the snippets of this version. In part of the stream I watched, the characters started talking about creating a place where they could make their own pizza crust, which seems to be connected to a bit of Seinfeld where Kramer came up with the business idea of opening a pizzeria where customers make their own pizza.
One really popular clip have a decent dialogue. It’s titled, “Elaine Dates a Guy Who Hates Fruit.” In it, Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and George wander around Jerry’s apartment and talk about Elaine’s boyfriend, who hates fruit and may be a “fruit junkie”. However, the AI generation cannot imitate the colors and delivery of the actors, and it can be difficult to know who is saying what at some point. You can watch it in the clip below.
Who is running the AI Seinfeld program?
The team that created it is called Mismatch Media and the people behind it describe themselves as “scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, tech experts, etc” on their website. website. On the other hand, the group seems a bit reclusive, and it’s unclear who is actually behind the stream.
The group has a rather pessimistic tone towards the content it produces. On the Twitch page, the stream description reads: “Nothing is forever is a show about nothing, that happens forever. Like the popular sitcoms of the past, except it never stops.” The channel description promises to run 365 days a year and deliver new content “every minute”.
Polygon has reached out to Mismatch Media for comment and will update the article if we receive a response.
