Live streaming platform Twitch has suspended an AI-generated Seinfeld parody after one of the characters made transphobic remarks. 

 The AI streaming show "Nothing, Forever" was trained on TV episodes to mimic Seinfeld.


  • One of the sitcom's characters, "Larry," who is modeled after Jerry Seinfeld, made transphobic remarks during an AI-scripted standup act.
  • Shortly after the segment aired, Twitch removed the show and has now suspended it from the platform for at least 14 days.
  • According to the program's creators, the text was generated due to a switch in AI models.
  • The show experienced an outage with OpenAI's GPT-3 Davinci model. As a result, the team switched to OpenAI's previous model, Curie.
  • "We leverage OpenAI's content moderation tools, which have worked thus far for the Davinci model, but were not successful with Curie," the creators explained.
  • The team said it is working to integrate OpenAI's content moderation API before relaunching "Nothing, Forever." It's also looking into backup content moderation systems.
