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

* AIIsACrapshoot: On February 6, 2023 the stream's [=OpenAI=] model started malfunctioning, leading to characters and scenes not loading properly. The developers switched it to a different, less advanced [=OpenAI=] model while they tried to fix the original problem, and all hell broke loose. Scenes alternated between a bare minimum of dialogue (one segment just had the characters saying "hey, [X]" to each other), or WordSaladHorror (Yvonne: "Hit my ass on the face and we're going to the left, he was fired. Well, what's goin' on here?"), with Twitch chatters quipping that the characters were on drugs or having strokes. Finally, in one standup scene Larry got uncharacteristically political and made transphobic and homophobic remarks that led Twitch to take the stream down.

* DoesNotLikeSpam: In one of the final scenes before the Twitch suspension (when the show was running on a faulty AI), Yvonne said "I hate Cajun cooking".

The stream itself consists of three segments: The most common segment, an apartment setting, has the four main characters (Larry, Kakler, Yvonne, and Fred) would discuss various topics, [[RunningGag usually centered around a new business or restaurant that just opened]]. The second segment is set on a stage, usually, 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. And the final segment is a "channel surfing" format, with a scrolling satellite channel menu, like someone scrolling through the channels trying to find something to watch. All of the above is completely AI-generated, from the dialogue, to the character movements, to the jokes and even the names of the shows while channel surfing. As you can imagine, chaos (and hilarity) typically ensues.

** However, there was one instance where the fish joke [[SubvertedPunchline had a different ending]], and it wasn't during a stand-up scene:

* ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud: Larry sometimes does this in his standup comedy scenes ("waves goodbye and exits the stage"). He also occasionally says [[NonSequitur "asterisk"]].

* WrongRestaurant: Yvonne mentions a new "restaurant" that actually sells comic books instead of food, apparently on the strange logic that anyone hungry enough to spend money on food would also be willing to buy comics.

-->'''Larry''': Somehow 900 bucks I gave her my sister and plus that you break the old dress together. They're starting to mail me. Fred had no idea about the manager. The other people to get out of my own life. Well, what are you talking about? You're trying to sign the bed. Alright, fine. Bye! (''laughter'') Larry. (''scratches his head as the audience laughs'') Hello? (''laughter'') What happened? I thought you were in. This is great! Hello? Hey, we've got your own human game, according to the past 11 hour. I knew I'm gonna try the car. The map of the solar school, the situation, the guy you have one class in the united traffic view of the bottom, that's the difference last week. The woman is trying to be driving over a little yelling and a long evening and a little a bit. So...oh no! No, don't make me happy! (''AwkwardSilence, then a cut to the channel guide, then a suspended notice from Twitch'').

* CouldSayItBut: The stand-up routine that gets the stream banned consists of Larry saying that he's "thinking about" doing certain objectionable bits, before listing them.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The stream runs on three different modes--"makes sense" (the dialogue is intelligible and appropriate and the characters interact with each other), "nonsense" (the characters spew total [[WordSaladHorror word salads]]) and "some sense" (a mix of the two). It had been running in "makes sense", but at some point on February 6, 2023 the AI began messing up and stopped loading scenes properly, then it returned in "some sense", but was still noticeably messed up, either only generating a bare minimum of dialogue (one segment just had the characters saying "hey, [X]" to each other), or gibberish (Fred started out one sentence with "Norway Olajuwon"), with Twitch chatters quipping that the characters were on drugs or having strokes. Finally, in one standup scene Larry got uncharacteristically political and made transphobic and homophobic remarks that led Twitch to take the stream down.

* [[MetaGuy Meta Gal]]: Yvonne has at least once referred to the show itself, though she called it ''Feinberg'' rather than ''Nothing, Forever''. She also delivered one joke that could be taken as a SelfParody of the show's RunningGags.
