Bug report: I hit “Microtissue”, a word that does exist, and its definition is incorrect ;-) ( https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/microtissue/eyJ3IjogI... )

Same with accommodability[1], except that (impressively) it _did_ get the definition more or less correct.

> accommodability

> ac·com·mod·abil·ity

> The quality of being likely to be useful, effective, or useful

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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...

What stands out to me is that the comments are treating "arguments" as passion as if it was "apples" or "old cars".

"I had many arguments growing up"

"where do you prefer to have internet arguments with your friends"

It interpolates "arguments"-related stuff into the posts as with any other topic. It does it well, but seems to have missed that it's not a conversational topic like most others. We don't talk about arguments like we talk about basketball. But here's a peek into what it would look like if we did!

(I also enjoyed the bot signing both a question and the immediate reply with ~Alex)

Those cats are nightmare fuel. Too many tails, paws and everything is fur. Not to mention pose and body proportions being in uncanny valley territory even when it gets the number of appendages right...

Wow. GPT2 is so, so, so much better than Markov chains. I'm reading these definitions, and the fact that the last few words of the sentence match the first few words subject-wise is pretty amazing. Just some random ones: > denoting or relating to a word (e.g., al-Qadri), the first letter of which is preceded or followed by another letter > a synthetic compound used in perfumery and cosmetic surgery to improve the app…

I always like to point people to /r/SubSimulatorGPT2 [1] as a good example of what GPT2 is able to accomplish. It's a subreddit filled entirely with bots, each user is trained on a specific subreddit's comments matching it's username (so politicsGPT2Bot is trained on comments from the politics subreddit). Go click through a few comment sections and see how mind-bendingly real some comment chains seem. They reply quot…

I subscribe to it so it’s mixed into my front page and every now and then, I read a post and get a good way into the comments before I realize what sub it is.

Opened the site and got this, is this just the AI or is this due to trolling?

cracula (crac·ula)

crocodiles attached to the genitals, typically with the anus protruding from much to their outermost point

"eating those cracula have no effects on the penis"

I made a page some years ago with 13000+ nonexistent words. You get to choose your own meanings.

From memory, it picks each letter with the same probability of following the previous two letters as actual english words have. The more previous letters included in calculating probabilities, the more like actual words you get. My list is on the wild side. Not novel, but was fun to do. Good for writing Jabberwocky-type poetry.
