An AI-generated version of the sitcom Seinfeld earned itself a ban on Twitch after the thousands watching the constant stream witnessed a character being transphobic.

The show, called Nothing, Forever, is based around the setup of Seinfeld with the AI learning from the ’90s sitcom featuring comedian Jerry Seinfeld. On Sunday night, the “Jerry” of Nothing, Forever struggled during a standup act and made some offensive remarks that earned the show a 14-day suspension from Twitch.

“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?” Nothing, Forever character Larry Feinberg said.
