Like many real stand-up comedians, the AI generated Seinfeld said some transphobic shit, complained that no one was laughing, and thought that counted as a joke. #trans #journalism

Transphobic AI Seinfeld! — Assigned

An AI version of Seinfeld was banned for making a transphobic joke on Twitch. Like many transphobic comedicans in real life, it never actually made a joke.

@e_urq is it weird that my read on that was as a piss-take of transphobic comedians?

@Tattie Hah, so, my first draft of the story tried to make that point, but I kept tripping over my words. Yes, if this was a human being, and if it was a joke, I think the joke would be that transphobic comedians aren't funny.

@e_urq like, "I'm dying onstage, so instead of getting better material, I'll be openly transphobic, and then pretend the lack of laughs was due to 'cancelling' rather than me just not being funny"

...

On second thoughts, that's just depressingly accurate.

@Tattie Yep. Exactly.
