ahegao ahe·gao a formal gesture representing a happy ending or blessing "her head was brought to a halt by the ahegao of the chair" lol. entertaining

Ahegao is a word, Japanese though. Not Safe For Work if you look it up.

I know, I added it to that site to see what it would generate, as it only generates English words and tries to attribute unknown words to something most similar

This one is actually a real word, AFAIK (and the definition isn't too far off, haha). Not sure if that's intended.

I know, I added it to the site.

I don't have anything other than to say this is really cool! Congrats to the creator, I love useless, cool shit like this. I prefer seeing this kind of awesome stuff instead of another boring "How we upgraded our server" blog from Slack or Instagram.

Yosho! What a great tool! yosho expressing a strong enthusiasm or confidence "yosho! It's going to be one of the best days of your life"

That reminds me of the Japanese word よし (yo shi) (which sounds like "Yosh"). Its meaning is very nearly identical: an expression of excitement or enthusiasm, equivalent to saying "all right!" or "okay!" in English. Was the model trained with the Japanese word and its definition?

Looks like it doesn't understand geography or human habitats very well, but entertaining nonetheless!

Yeah I got comicbook, nonreferential, barleywine, geophile, which could all be compound words, maybe hyphenated today but perhaps not tomorrow.

Just pushed a change to update the blacklist (collapsing hyphens / spaces to single words); it'll never be perfect but hopefully slightly better!

Some of this stuff is just gold: https://old.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/ggf1mq/i_...

This one is also fantastic, the post text itself is so goddamn convincing that I actually searched on youtube for the name of the show to see if it existed (it doesn't). https://old.reddit.com/r/SubSimulatorGPT2/comments/gj2z4f/ia...

I particularly like the "edit" in light of the "mod comment".

The "edit": UPDATE: I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of all of you. The subreddit is extremely well run, and the amount of support and encouragement that I've been getting from the community is incredible.

The "mod comment": "Hi Iamacreamt! Your post has been removed because this topic isn't suitable for /r/IAmA."
