#192Very impressive. It was reminiscent of the Polish sci-fi writer, Stanislaw Lem who invented more words than Shakespeare. That made for some tricky translations.

I'm not sure that Shakespeare really invented those words. A lot of the first use citations in the Oxford English Dictionary tended to go for prominent writers in its first use citations.

#193I've just realised this tool is great for inventing new species or spells for my DnD campaign. Things like "Lollyfish" "Bannabeat" and "Sanaf" sound like awesome little plants or creatures to decorate my world with!
Hah good idea. I’m using thispersondoesntexist to generate npc appearances ad-hoc in my campaign. I believe there is a potential for a generator that understands fantasy races.

#194Wow. 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 almost got miffed about this one complete jerk. Then I remembered how it was generated and laughed through the whole thing - it is so uncanny. Genuine Reddit emotions were had.

#195This is brilliant, could barely be funnier if written by a human:
> adjective.
> nondegenective
> non·de·genec·tive
> (of a computer virus) preventing development of an infection in which the infection is found in the host, without warning or compromise to the computer
> "this virus is nondegenective against bovine cholera"
It's both impressive in its relevance and fluency of language, despite being nonsense, and hilarious. Had me in stitches at 'bovine cholera'.

"Stanislaw Lem who invented more words than Shakespeare."
SL's inventiveness is beyond reproach but he lived in a time (died 2006) rather later than Mr (I have 50 spelings of my name) Shakesper. Lem spoke several languages and a cursory glance at your link seems to show a lot of drinks!
Shake a spear did invent a huge number of English words. Some of them were due to the rather random speling existent in the Elizabethan England of the 14th C. The rest were the result of a creative mind that needed to deploy ideas and concepts in ways that were not available at the time. The clever thing is that he created many words that seem so obvious in meaning - and are so obviously "English". He literally understood English to its core and was able to manipulate it effectively. Good skills that man.

#198Podcasters and Youtubers have been pronouncing squarespace incorrectly all this time! squarespace squares·pace the ability to play in a board game within a system by controlling the left and right edges of the board or a grid surrounded by squares https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/squarespace/eyJ3IjogI...
I was getting a lot of brand names, including Sporcle and Truvia.

Lem is such a witty writer and his short stories are so thoroughly enjoyable. He's very clever!
His work isn't like Terry Pratchett but I find that there is a commonality in their cleverness. Still can't get over Pratchett's 'ideon' (a fundamental particle that when it strikes the brain, creates an idea; hilarious!) or that weird story of Lem's where an abandoned traveler gene-chemical engineers a sapient civilization to build himself a ship so he can fly back.
