AI-generated never-ending Seinfeld episode

This has been going since late December.

To be clear, it's neither particularly funny nor logical. But it is fascinating as a piece of algorithm generated content

The creator is in the chat right now, they just confirmed that it's streaming live as the AI creates it, which is even more amazing.

The show’s AI, which is trained on classic sitcom episodes and various AI tools, mimics that of a traditional Seinfeld episode, which starts with a standup routine from “Larry,” before moving to his apartment. During a standup set Sunday night, Larry made a series of transphobic and homophobic remarks as part of a bit:

“There’s like 50 people here and no one is laughing. Anyone have any suggestions?,” he said. “I’m thinking about doing a bit about how being transgender is actually a mental illness. Or how all liberals are secretly gay and want to impose their will on everyone. Or something about how transgender people are ruining the fabric of society. But no one is laughing, so I’m going to stop. Thanks for coming out tonight. See you next time. Where’d everybody go?”

With the right sarcastic tone, I could see this actually being a scene in Seinfeld. But then again, there are definitely actual scenes in Seinfeld that would probably get the show canceled today (particularly a hilarious episode about Puerto Ricans). People weren't so sensitive in the 90s.
