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

Yeah so on the disturbing scale, I think this one is quite good:

extroraptor

ex·tro·rap·tor

a device by which a fetus is detached from another animal by means of an entrails lasso and inserted in other muscles

"underhanded methods of caressing the fetus with an extroraptor device"

adjective. unprestigious un·pres·ti·gious (of a person) strong, imposing, or impressive "an unprestigious figure during his lifetime"``` ( https://l.thisworddoesnotexist.com/u749 ) Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

One would think that about inflammable too

There is only poor, easily dismissable argument that unprestigious is not a word.

The un- prefix is a highly productive morpheme English; dictionaries would only waste space by listing every possible un- word.

Allow me to extend my contrafibularities for creating such a fun little project.

The definition of that would would be along the lines of “Anti calf bone feelings” or “opposition to calf bone like sentiments” if it follows standard English and was being used in the correct context

microlithography mi·crolithog·ra·phy

    the diagnostic or microscopy of embedded structures or tissues "biosensors with lens-guided microlithography"

It does exist. And the definition is not so far of. It's about creation, not diagnostics, tho.

Is creativity going to be the first major human trait upended by AI? I feel like the trope has always been "But the robots will never be able to express beauty/art/music/prose like humans". However it seems that all early AI is focused on and doing surprisingly well at creative pursuits. If someone rattled off words like this I would be amazed at their creativity.

We're finding that stuff we thought would be impossibly hard is subject to brute force using simple constructs, and stuff we thought would be simple is proving incredibly difficult.
