''Nothing, Forever'' is a 24/7 livestream of a GPT-3 [[UsefulNotes/AIGeneratedArtwork AI generated]], infinitely running sitcom based heavily on ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', created by Mismatch Media. The AI's somewhat limited knowledge and the janky animations makes for a very surreal and bizarre experience. Debuting in December 2022, it went viral at the start of February 2023.

Misuse. This Is Going To Be Huge is for where the joke is that the work is set in the past and the viewers with the benefit of hindsight know that the thing that was going to be huge flopped.


* ThisIsGoingToBeHuge: Kelly often comes up with weird schemes with this proclamation, only to be shot down by Leo.

The stream itself consists of four segments: The most common segment, the sitcom segment (set primarily on two different apartment sets, although a diner set was added for Season 2), has the four main characters (Larry, Kakler, Yvonne, and Fred in Season 1; Leo, Manfred, Kelly and Nick in Season 2) discuss various topics, [[RunningGag usually centering around a new business or restaurant that just opened]]. The second segment was originally set on a stage, with a "live" audience, featuring Larry telling several standup jokes and stories, and occasionally trying to goad a story or joke from the crowd, though no one ever obliges him; this got changed to the equivalent character Leo talking as he writes a blog post in Season 2. The third segment is a "channel surfing" format, with a scrolling satellite channel menu, like someone scrolling through the channels trying to find something to watch. A weather forecast segment was added for Version 1.4, which shows completely fabricated weather forecasts, in the style of a low-resource community cable station from the 80s, with a ticker thanking all the stream’s subscribers running at the bottom. All of the above is completely AI-generated, from the dialogue, to the character movements, to the jokes and weather forecast, and even the names of the shows while channel surfing. As you can imagine, chaos (and hilarity) typically ensues.
