  stril·la·tion
  the action or process of boiling (a subject, typically an 
  animal) at room temperature

I have to say this is pretty hilarious

This is pretty cool but I am getting some strange results sometimes: https://imgur.com/a/rv0wHN1

That's not ideal and probably picking up some of the original training set from GPT-2 (this model is bolted on top of it)! How about DUOLINGOLOGY instead https://bit.ly/3fPGP8q I'm using a blacklist to reject "real" words but it's surprisingly hard to build for rare words. I'm up to ~600K items after parsing Wikipedia tokens and it still doesn't capture everything.

  airpods
  air·pods
  a large pair of wings and wings of a bird or other flying 
  animal, typically used as a guide for a figure skater and 
  paraglider
  "a pair of airpods"

Can you take the words as input and generate the definitions?

Yup, press the "Generate your own button" on the site. If you want to go the other direction (definition to made-up word) you can hit up my twitter bot @robo_define: https://twitter.com/robo_define

Some of them are pretty clever and could have easily become slang given enough time. My first result was "upboard" which describes all the wood on a sailboat that is above the water.

Pronounced "ubberd"

Bug report: I hit “Microtissue”, a word that does exist, and its definition is incorrect ;-)

Wow, even with definitions! That looks like a better version of a game I made years ago where you have to pick out the real word from four options. The three "non-words" are generated by Markov chains: https://www.michaelfogleman.com/wug/

This game is great; I've been trying to think through ways of using these NLP models in a competitive game but the mechanics aren't obvious. It would be awesome to do something like an AI rap battle
