I've always wanted to explore the word2vec space to find the most sparsely populated region, then (assuming you can train some sort of reverse vec2word model) coin that word that the English language was apparently sorely lacking.

I read it as "This World Does Not Exist", which would be a fantastic NFT collection.

Are these being generated in real time or are the pre-generated and pulled from a database?

    "our resillience toward the world"

Hmm.. Maybe they need to do a soundex comparison to avoid this sort of problem?

It's too bad that even the best dimensionality reduction algorithms still really suck. Visualizing and inspecting latent spaces is super sweet and eventually I think it will become extremely useful and common...
