AI Sponge

AI Sponge or AI Generated Sponge! was an unofficial live web-series that was hosted on the channel ai_sponge. The stream frequently stopped working and a new one had to be created, but otherwise the series was broadcast 24/7 in real-time. 
As the series' name might suggest, AI Sponge is entirely written by AI, based on prompts submitted by members of the show's server. The show is a obscene parody of the children's series SpongeBob SquarePants.
Viewers were able to donate $3.33 to name a background fish.
== History ==
On June 7, 2023, the stream was taken down by Paramount for copyright infringement. A new YouTube channel was created on June 8, the next day. It was also taken down by Paramount.
On June 9, 2023, a new YouTube channel was created, and this time the stream has no music or donations. Non-copyrighted music was added later that day before later being replaced with the Better Call Saul theme. The same day, Plankton was added as a character. Donations were also later re-enabled.
On June 14, 2023, the stream was once again taken down by Paramount.
On July 3, 2023, the stream was back up and running.
On July 26, 2023, AI Sponge was officially discontinued after being down for over 24 hours.
On June 20, 2023, a Russian version of the channel named SpongeBonge was launched, which uses voices from the Russian dub of the show. As with the previous channel, people can donate to name a fish and send a topic, but they also can donate to make character do a cover on the song they suggest (although the song only runs for 1 minute). The channel operates to this day due to it not using copyright music. It was later shut down sometime in September 2023.
In August 2023, two "unofficial" English-language continuations of AI Sponge were launched, both of them using new sources for the voices. One of them, AI Sponge Rebooted, is run by Pristine and DZTH and takes the form of shorter streams, going on occasional hiatus for updates and bug fixing. This version aims to replicate the original as closely as possible while also building upon it. It has all the features of the OG and is completely open-source for anyone to use and modify for absolutely free. The second one, simply titled AI SPONGE, is run by AI_CARTOON and streams indefinitely. AI_CARTOON's stream uses improved graphics and models and different character animations, and notably gives Squidward a normal-sounding voice instead of his usual loud voice, but otherwise seems to share "continuity" with the original stream thanks to user prompts. 
In September 5, 2023, JAZZZA, the creator of the Discord and Stream has said that he forgot the server and only used it for Money for Nitro, after that the whole server went in shambles and all the channels were deleted, which means the Discord server and the legacy of Sponge AI is now over...
...until Pristine brought about a new dawn. AI Sponge returned as AI Sponge: Rehydrated in December 2023. The stream ran until March 14 (AKA the day that Krabs fries), when the owner of the stream's Discord server, RiskiVR, allegedly drove a moderator, zeybloxia, to commit suicide. zeybloxia was found on Roblox an hour later, revealing they had faked the suicide, but not before RiskiVR was reportedly doxxed, and Pristine shut down the stream, privating every video and short on their channel and also leaving the Discord server, leaving the future of AI Sponge uncertain. RiskiVR released a statement clearing everything up, and the stream went back online later in the day. In the succeeding months, AI Sponge was further imrpoved, with Pearl, Bubble Bass, and Perch Perkins being added, plus news broadcasts hosted by Perch featuring other characters doing phone interviews. Pristine, meanwhile, went on to create AI Regular Show.
