AI Developers really want a forever version of Seinfeld
The Twitch stream Nothing, Forever was an early attempt at an AI-fueled program generating its own content, and it could be considered an AI agent before the moniker pulled itself out of the evolving AI lexicon. The show was taken down at one point after a character got a little out of hand and was later un-canceled, but the creators aren’t done with the idea of a self-developing Seinfeld.
YouTuber All About AI created his own version of Seinfeld using AI agents to generate fully-voiced episodes. Two separate agents simulate a Jerry clone, while another pretends to be George. Their voices are provided thanks to ElevenLabs, a program for creating AI-generated speech using voice clips. Using a Python script, the YouTuber managed to get the AI to create a back-and-forth script where the two characters worked off each other like separate characters. The AI could chat back and forth about using GPT-4 to try and find a date. Jerry, it seems, is a “connoisseur of classic television, particularly Seinfeld.” How meta.
And perhaps if you’re not too interested in Jerry and friends, you could watch a different AI-based Twitch stream meant to recreate one of The Simpsons most-memed episodes.
