    I don’t think you even need to have seen the entire show.

    Once you’ve seen a few seasons - you pretty much already know what some typical Seinfeld plots would be, to the point you could make an assumption about whether a new invention would inspire or deprecate potential Seinfeld plots.

    E.g smartphones. I could EASILY see there being an episode about George getting lost, but refusing to admit it because he has a girlfriend with him, so he can’t ask for directions. Is there one? I don’t remember. Maybe? Maybe not? It just seems like the kinda thing he’d do. But smartphones have completely normalized looking at your favorite map/navigation app. Hell, it’s completely normal to just put Waze on while driving even if you know where you’re driving to, as it shows you real-time information. This is a potential George plot wiped out.

    We also know that George always looking to either save or make a quick buck, would have no issues scamming people. He’d definitely be part of a crypto rug pull, thinking he’s gonna make it big… Then also get the rug pulled on him. Could definitely make a Seinfeld plot out of this.

    Kramer always has ideas, usually crazy and rarely good. He’d have some weird ass new AI thing going with Newman for sure, only to discover it’s completely useless and literally already solved with some old technology that does it better and more reliably. That’s the most Kramer thing you could think of IMO.
