Writing generated by artificial intelligence tends to fall into two categories: the flat and the weird. Ask ChatGPT a simple question, and it will reply in the diction of a mediocre middle-school student trying very hard to please a teacher. But if you give it a sufficiently unusual assignment, you might get something more surreal.
Nothing, Forever is an extended experiment in bot-generated surrealism. Since December 14, four figures modeled on the central characters of Seinfeld have been moving awkwardly across a Twitch landscape that looks like an ancient video game, with their dialogue scripted by an artificial intelligence. In theory this will go on forever, though as I write it has been taken temporarily offline while the creators try to find a way to keep the characters from saying anything transphobic.
