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

This NFT is not real.

My word was a bit disturbing. Meat cooked in a sauce of raw meat over ice. Yum. Plumata: a dish with layers of meat, vegetables, or seafood cooked in a sauce of raw meat, vegetables, and herbs, typically over ice and typically served with other fresh ingredients

Sounds like something straight from the Don't Starve (videogame) cookbook.

I once dreamt a word, and when I woke up and looked it up, it didn't exist anywhere. I wonder if I refresh this page long enough, whether it would eventually appear.

In theory, yes. But it would take an infinite amount of time, unless you're like SUPER lucky and get it on the third refresh or something :D

I know everyone's going to post their favorite word but this one made me chuckle:

    adjective.
    refereeless
    having or showing good judgment
    "the refereeless refereeing of the 1968 Summer Olympics"

Appears to be a collection of perfectly cromulent words; someone should propulgate them into wider use in order to embiggen the vocabulary of our youth.

I got words that do exist, for example "high-performance motor"[1] and "retrogradeness" [1] https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/sxFD That's fine, I guess, for a silly website - but it's not hard for me to imagine a company taking this idea, "AI/ML created X" and selling X's, even copyrighting them... when X already exists in the real world

I imagine in real life applications you’d need to add a bit of checks and balances around the ML output (e.g. cross check against a dictionary/copyright database)

In the same vein:

mammical - relating to mammals "mammical mammal food"

Or

tachycloid - a fossilized fingerless skull consisting mainly of rounded fragments, each containing paired digits

I kinda want to see art generated from that last one as a prompt. Sounds terrifying.

This is a great project name generator.
